Lunch/ George Tooker/ 1964
AN INSPIRATION for this week's Magpie Tales from Tess Kincaid.
SAY SOMETHING
Looking for a cuppa Joe,
I came across a resistant morning.
The gush of the weather
drove me indoors.
Neon flashed: EATS.
I made myself diaphanous,
the better to pick and choose
floating wisdom.
My sixth sense tingled
from sundry communiques.
Under my breath I commanded,
chew that last crumb,
brush a bitten lip,
wonder about tonight's
Blue Plate Special.
Are you lonely today?
Say something to me.
The coffee's cold,
no time for a refill.
The weather has changed,
look out the window.
You don't even know.
