- Someday in a Cafe
-
-
- I will order berries, eat them
- slowly, one by one. You will
- mention Trotsky, blink suddenly,
- and I will think it Morse.
-
- The waiter will ask questions,
- you will answer like a sage
- while I confuse him, always
- the fool, but you will laugh.
-
- You will mention houseplants
- and I will see two poets,
- one a tree, one a vine.
- We are in a forest,
-
- and my meandering might lead
- to your branches or your trunk
- as we seek sunlight.
- Let's split a chocolate cake.
