The Young Housewife
by William Carlos Williams

At ten A.M. the young housewife
moves about in negligee behind
the wooden walls of her husband's house.
I pass solitary in my car.


Then again she comes to the curb
to call the ice-man, fish-man, and stands
shy, uncorseted, tucking in
stray ends of hair, and I compare her
to a fallen leaf.


The noiseless wheels of my car
rush with a crackling sound over
dried leaves as I bow and pass smiling

( William Carlos Williams )
