Don’t let gray
get grayer
graver could go
but I hope for
a reddy heady
bun babble about
anything peelable like
clementine counters
She set a coaster
and a cup of sweet
southern, lime over
lemon – already had
freshly started morning
sips of perky breath
blown my way
My direction
eventually persuaded
realized wrongful waste
thanks to her taste
full of ambiance
But mostly smiled then
because she said
“Don’t be such an ass”
