My Poetry Anthology

The second installment in the My Poetry Anthology . . . It's my favorite little Dorothy Parker poem, called Unfortunate Coincidence:

By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he says his passion is
Infinite, undying -
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.

It's a bit cynical, but I've loved it ever since I read it in Reckless, the It Girl novel by Cecily von Ziegesar. It was shortly after that I got into DP, and started carrying my grandma's old copy of the Portable Dorothy Parker around with me. Read some of her!
