Ruben the Teaser

Ruben, The Teaser 
I knew it was her when she entered the cafe 
had seen her before in a fake painting behind 
a bar in downtown New York this Rubenesque  
a  woman only this time she wore a short frock. 
those thighs could so easily strangulate man, 
and through her dress her nipples were big and 
visible. She had a glow in her face of a woman 
who had just made love or was going to 
Forty years too old, a sigh and I concentrated on
the schnitzel I was eating with salad and no spuds.
