Camera Angles (Linus Dining Marrakech)

Despite the financial disparity,
There is a resemblance
To his bow tie awkwardness.
An ocean of reserve allows for this,
And compensates.
The placket of his white dress shirt,
Even when unbuttoned,
Which it never is,
Stays
Aligned correctly
With the buckle of his belt.
He tilts
Slightly,
As he listens,
Choosing phrases from her conversation
As he would stock
To invest.
He tests,
Amazed to see the juice clinging to his fingertips;
Forgets politeness,
Then licks them
With groomed grace.
They both wait,
Poised, as the French would say,
On the point of balance;
Alert,
And imminently ready
To either dance
Or fence.
