Great Regulars: Here's a little bagatelle

from among my more accessible pieces. It's a kind of affectionate outburst that communicates something of the poet's (The Poet's!) implication in the service industries of everyday life.

I assume that the pronoun "they" in the poem's penultimate line can comprehend all the co-habitants in a daily life's doghouse.

from The Washington Post: Poet's Choice: 'Domestique' by Heather McHugh
