words, need
consummated
under lights,

heavy hands
gripping for
clarity.

ice letters
forming
corporation's sign

sway and slicken
crystal-slow,
quite discrete.

settles low
on table laid
with business cards,

melting by
the platter stacked
with deli meats.

slivers, crumbs
for the suits
to feed on.

with movement sly
they mix remains
within their drinks.

Mikey, so that's where you've been hanging out! Were you an observer or a participant?
You certainly captured the essence of some of these functions.

Warm hugs,
Linda

Thanks, Ron and Linda.

I just got back from a business function in Vegas, for the magazine I work at -- and both this and "The Worst Cup of Coffee" are accounts from what I saw/felt/etc. from the trip.

I'll be quiet next week, too. My girlfriend's coming down from Canada for a visit Feb. 8-16! No way I'm going to spend my time on PIP then.

Thank you both for reading, and for being such great supports.

Mike
