Spotted Pig

A warm back
through window of
Spotted Pig Resto
on
Greenwich St

Golden afternoon
spiced olives
and
trout -smoked-
cold cold white wine
wooden stools with
soft worn cushions

Celebrating possibilities

The man's hand
sensually on her knees
her legs
the small of her back
She smiles.
- lovers-
Her perfectly manicured toenails
- so NYC

Time passes fully.
It blossoms
into the red brick brownstones

Ah. Creme Catalane
and espresso. Black.
Strong.
Et voila.
He kisses her fully, deeply.
She leans against his outstretched palm
extending
underneath the earlobe
to the back of her head.

Time blossoms fully.

Into my faded charcoaled jeans
I step out
take to the afternoon streets
smooth of wine
full of options
ripe in my knowledge of
attending possibilities.

Time broadens and tilts deliciously sideways.
