We eat out together: By Bernadette Mayer

Right form the start the Mayer states that the character heart is a fancy place referring to the person being accustomed to nice and expensive things, a dinner on a boat cruising down a river at night wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. The one part i read that got my attention was when Mayer mentioned "even a tortured lamp served in pieces" the poem was going light and smooth and then all of a sudden a powerful word like torture is thrown in, I kinda like how she did that excited  up the story a little bit. Mayer makes is very apparent that's the couple are living lavish, well of with money and a little snobby.when she said "where entitled to see anytime" she was saying like how they can go eat on the river whenever they pleased and "publicly dishing out intimate luxuries" It seems like there hearts are like pots of gold.
