Abreast
to many men
too many men
don't look a
woman in
her eyes
instead
speak
to
what they think
make her her
perhaps not
noticing
that she
already
is not
even
paying attention
intentionally
looking for
someone
who will
talk
face
to face
but the fixation
relationship
of the pair
takes him
to the
point
of
pointlessly
spilling
his drink
on her
blouse
then in
intended
apology he
asks if he can
wipe up his mess
with napkin in
hand but she
takes out her
padding and
squeezes
them out
and puts
them
back in
to make
them their
original size
once again to
find the eyes of
another ogling man
