Meeting You Again

You stir your latte slowly an old habit of yours a delicate studied frown. I wonder when your mannerisms became perfectly packaged fashion statements? When did you turn a camera inwards into your scripted life? Just when did you begin to act-out this caricature? As you turn your spoon, as you gather together your carefully prepared replies, my interest in you flat-lines.
