This poem has three alternating sections.
The Girl With The Auburn Hair: The main character tells his story in retrospect.
Mid-Life Crisis: The main character interacts with the audience.
Angel 69: A third person narrator tells Angel's side of the story.

Toward the end of the poem, it reveals that "The Girl With The Auburn Hair"
is not Angel, but someone else (the main character's wife),
changing the meaning of some of the lines that came before it.
"I need a good woman, to make me feel like a good man should.
I don't say I'm a good man. Oh, but I would be if I could."

your deepest desires repeatedly denied?
Have you ever been a lonely man
