You were pretty enticing,..
more sophisticated
than the place
where we found ourselves
You must have noticed
I was talking
to the unattractive
musician
getting ready
to start her gig
Maybe you didn't notice
that we talked
like the old friends
that we are
Maybe you missed
the fact that
the only reason I was here
was to say hello
to her.
Yes,..
I did see
the finger moving
across your throat
with your back turned
toward the musician
when I suggested
that she should play
No,..
I wasn't expecting
to enjoy the music
I just came to say hello
to someone I valued
An act which
I could never imagine
repeating for you
