Ahead the engulfed reader she exhaled,
excused herself, approached bonehead.
Caffeinated, he’s astray or amazed,
admire her parade, pray you weren’t misled.
Aglow sun, enriched hair, invoked her stare.
Akin to shampoo, absorb the moment,
digest the baguette; he observed a star–
suspense hangs–subsiding the taste of mint.
Describe the effect she possessed on him,
convey the sublime heaven she precedes,
but divine intermission persuaded him dim.
So, please condense the immense delight, it reeks.
There we talked for hours with steaming cups,
rollin’ records, me screenwritin’, chuggin’ aspirin–
anything–so we couldn’t stand back up.
