It's odd
waiting for you like an old friend
with mutual history
when truthfully
our contact has always been announced
by the bling
of 'you've got mail'
I sit
awkwardly
in the lobby wing-back chair
as canned music
accompanies my composition of
introductory sentences
witty conversation and
anticipated silences
And I wonder
will you like me
with
skin on?
