Somewhere Between
-
I lost the words,
somewhere between
cheesecake and the
unpaid bill.
-
I had them, rehearsed
over two days time,
on my tongue at
shrimp alfredo and
New York strip steak.
-
But the waiter
came back to confirm
mashed potatoes or
french fries.
-
So, my thought process
fought the surrounding
noise, after iced tea
and white zinfandel arrived.
-
Somewhere between
cheesecake and
the unpaid bill, we
could have stayed
together, yet the
words got caught in
napkins and several
pink Sweet'n Low's.
