The Squeeze
in a darkened cinema
she squeezed my hand
while next to her
he munched popcorn – oblivious
she wanted to show me
she was mine not his
if i wanted
confused and unsure
i froze
fact was
he turned out to be no good for her
or she him
sometimes
i wish
then I think not
a squeeze is an ask
there is no question attached
- until later
