It Happens to Helen (Edited)

something Chang's Chinese Bistro,
bourgeoise posh; the witress screwed up the order;
a twenty year old Maitre' De - how can she know the wine list?
ching chong wannabe authentic food chain;
grandma Li (a cliche I know) can cook - not these cretins.
ten foot tall paper meche horse in the corner;
it matchs the soul of so many patrons.

Horn rimmed Buddy Hollies and a pocket protector;
Smacking good food; He enjoys his meal more so for his
Wife. Thirtysomething like Him, She's not hot.
casually expensive attire graces Her form -
She has class. a linebacker type takes a table;
he's escorting a cow - who knows?
Her eyes eat his form as mine absorb Her's.

market street strip clubs are heating up now;
a night-cap and then onto some "fun."
I really gotta get my friends some dates -
paying cash isn't my style - I like dinner and
a show. I catch Her eye - She knows I know;
for all His degrees and suits He cannot see
Her. happily, sloppily chomping away at Her side.

I want Her. No good reason - just because I
can. eyeing each other not so discreetly I
wait. Will I get a chance to work my
magic? Probably not - the way She's casing the place -
experience. eye contact continues as She order a third
martini. She licks Her lips, signal sent, the game's
afoot! I catch His eye and pretend to study the horse.

suddenly silence sundered by blaring sirens!
the mutual hypnosis broken - is she coming to her
senses? I hope not, too much teasing to leave loaded.
one foot rubing the back of Her calf as She crosses Her legs
and heart. I swear that skirt's higher than before.
a phone number only, and tomorrow I'll be meeting Her by noon.
He's up - the bathroom! I am too - time for the kill.
