Oh, my gosh - is this dramatic and clever and a grin maker! Reminds me of a country song, well, more than one. This is utterly great, perfect, a head shaker and talk initiator of a poem, Paul. Love it. I think I'll pause my comments right here and dwell on this witty piece as I do my chores. All the best ... CayCay

The window of imagination is left wide open in this intriguing poem Paul. Left to my own devices, I can conjure up sinister or innocent scenarios about 'his imminent departure...' Everything about every line of your captivating poem is ingenious, my friend. Love your poem and the title! My 'powers of discernment' are at it again :)) An excellent enigma.. Warmest wishes always. ~Susan

Let's just say that my intrigued imagination leans towards the sinister... it's just more fun! :) Two women sipping 'black coffee' is a dead giveaway.. :))

Your powers of discernment always prove you right, Susan! I will not press you into divulging all that you have conjured in your mind, but I can at least thank for the delightful comments which you wrote on my page:) ~ Warm regards // paul

You should've read their lips... who're they talking about.... I have to know... the suspense is killing me.... Who is departed? I need to know..

Ah...lip-reading...that completely escaped my attention, Pashang!! Agatha Christie would have chastised me:) Regards // paul

Oooh, this sounds a bit ominous, a bit of Hercule Poirot? You take your reader on imaginative journey. His life in their hands. "To be or not to be"....That is the big question!....Maria :)

You are very up-to-date re Agatha Christie works, Maria:) Poirot starred in her play "Black Coffee". ~ Wishing you a lovely weekend // paul

A very cryptic cool poem, Paul. Was his departure in transit among the living, or from the living to the dead? Thought provoking poetry. Love and smiles always.

Thank you, Freddie. Thus passes the pleasure of double dealing...Sic transit gloria mundi!! Regards, my friend // paul

A head turner. A lovely piece that begs a second and third look before imagining our own denouement. Beautifully done, Paul.

He doesn't have a chance, now that the two women have gotten together to get him out!

It's hard escaping the wrath of one woman, let alone two, Vijay:) Thank you for your input. Regards // paul
