Lentl Soup pt.

The time moved slow,

the coffee fast and
there were

no shoes to tie. No
time to be stalled

by excuse. My mind left

moments unchecked, against it
all.

Then I found your eyes again,

and tried once more-

with tales of rice
and roe. Of stories denied

by common senses more

in tuned to social consequence.

A story of life's journey,

because what difference

does
it make.

And smiles found smiles; a difference

forgotten-we walked

to the park and played

til dawn.
