Sweep

Hello and handshakes,
now old hat,
that brief hello,
wiggling through teeth.....

a stiff aura
still making breakfast,
news blabbing
from the old TV,

touching is only
on a big screen,
a carbon copy
of middle aged parents,

tequila on Friday
the bright spot,
like sunshine
on a 
wrinkled countenance,

gazing right through each other,
the big mirror,
a comfort zone,
waiting
for one or the other
to push out
first.
