The Last Thing You Want

for Eddie Redmayne

The last thing you want is Eddie Redmayne

seeing you at your very worst in your own home

though this will in fact happen. Your father

will have a heart attack weeks before,

your mother will somehow be annoyed

by all of it, so you don't even tell them

Eddie Redmayne is here! Just outside the door!

He could certainly have said,

you better not bring that cat out here,

but from the plaster landing

the actor and your child speak

of dander, gently he tells her the way

his aunt's makes him sneeze

and everyone understands

politeness. The people you least expect 

to be lovely to your daughter

at a time you fear the impossibility

of kindness, will be movie stars.

You brush your teeth, and head back

to the mustard chair that isn’t part

of the mustard set, but is I guess

really more golden

than anything, apart

from Redmayne himself.
