Food Court
FOOD COURT
She isn’t beautiful
No knockout
Maybe it’s the surroundings
She is surrounded by –
Age
Business freaks
Overweight teens in ragged jeans
On the other hand
Exotica is well dressed
White blouse
Black skirt
Heels which soften rather large calves
And her hair is long black
with those Aniston strands across one eye
lots of mascara
I’m trying to pinpoint the impression
the obsession
Yes!
She’s aware of her superior dress
Face mostly hidden behind –
what else – an Apple laptop
From time to time her full features appear
She’s glancing (hopefully) around the Apple
Pencil brows
High forehead
Full cheeks
Full lips that somehow
seem misplaced
Full describes the package
Yet?
I fantasize
Something about her eyes……..
What is it? (they look up at you, her head on a large
white pillow)
She smiles (something on the computer?)
And the whole face blends kind of
I’m just beginning to sense disturbance……..
When!
Wouldn’t you know it!
HE sits down
Facing her
Bald nicely trimmed thatch around both ears
I’d say 55
Nice Hawaiian sport shirt
Almost makes him look 54
Brief case….(belt-overhanging paunch)
BUMMER!
They deserve each other!
