the charmer leans in attentive if disinterested the volley more important than the substance napkin rises again and again in a linen dance of unsureness not yet settled in any way his vision follows every passing lead quickly returning to feigned rapture neither the distraction nor the disrespected aware of the wayward straying i wonder if the knowledge of it would make a difference or are such dishonoring actions now brushed away like the crumbs that even now bounce across the table napkin chased the future possibly tabled across the well traveled narrow aisle with whatever was on their minds unshared and unwanted by the other faces absent of expression hands working at their plates as drinks are sat before them the charmer gives their deliverer the same smile he shares with his unsettled date who I am now quite sure envies my seat alone There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

There are things I remember: That first steak in Tennessee Meeting the Mayor That lady in Applebee's The bar with the yummy bread (with poppyseeds?) That country place...with all the peanuts... Can you remember the leopard skin skirt discussion? hehe... Sigh...what I wouldn't give to be there again hon..so you didn't have that seat alone... your poem is wonderful, but you already know I think that right? Sorry it took me so long to get here... I will critique it in private as per your request - such a shame...hehehehe... hugs my sweet J  KAll obscurity starts with a danger: |

Jamie I loved this poem, and you really did show the reader the uneasiness of the date. I really felt it too. I bet she would've loved to have been sitting with you I know I would enjoyed this Jamie Maree |
