Daver Austin Poet Narrative

Book Store Fantasy

book store fantasy
summer of 2010
i’m sipping coffee

outside it’s 90
air conditioning feels great
what a lazy day

inspiration nil
my writing pad remains blank
but then    she walks in

five-six    raven hair
look to see if she’s alone
yes    no male appears

she gives me the eye
her face shames helen of troy
my heart is racing

should i make a play
or will she wound my ego?
i’m vulnerable

my girl just dumped me
vulnerable but desperate
I decide to play


no hesitation
she arches those black eyebrows
says    “your place    or mine?”

wouldn’t you know it
my cell-phone suddenly rings
reality dings
