"Conversation Overheard At A Local Costco"
She eyes the cashier with contempt
Twenty items or less
Been walking for over two hours
The black eyeliner is fading
Amid the countless heads
The woman in blue slaps her husband's face
And spills the milk
A moppy haired green behind the gills
Winks his approval with a flick
Of the wrist
Tragedy is avoided
The clock reads ten minutes
Before bedlam.

Poem: "Taking One's Time"
"Taking One's Time"
Chalk it up
To one last drink
The bartender with his lazy
Nonchalant glare
Flirting with the
Fleeting idle jukebox
A tap on the bouncer's shoulder
No set destination tonight
A sultry night
Sweltering anticipation
Leading up the stairs
Leaning in, slowly
Eyes meet
In a smoldering moment
The tension palpable
As it crawls unseen
Underneath skin
Hushed in exposed undertones
And bated breath
Amid the roar, whispers abound
"It's just you and me, honey."
It's only a kiss, she tells herself
Lingering quietly in the shadows.
