We sat in Cafe Latte
enjoying sips of each other
we spoke of times thought long forgotten
of years one after another

your band broke up
ever so slowly
aseach member fell
by the way-side
bedding matrimony

I went away to school
to study crime
giving no thought to anything else
prepared to believe there was always time

you and your Swisher Sweets
cherry & vanilla
we laugh as I remind you
you still look like a playa

we wonder about regrets
about what might have been
you give me your serious look
ask if I still love
your best friend

we both know how he is paul my dear
he is like a piece of talc
that can't stand through
the years
which reminds me
talc is often times used
as a paint filler

asa paint filler?

yes as apaint filler,
and eating paint chips
makes you thirsty

we both die laughing
but I just die
you never did miss
what was in my eyes

hours later we kiss goodbye
promising to get together another time
my lips taste like Swisher Sweets
we both knew it'sjust a line


I'm so terribly thirsty

Leona, the question of what could have been, does tend to make one thirsty.....

sounds like a bitter sweet reunion.
You took me right there with you...very nicely done!

enjoyed... very much enjoyed this.
