Supper, love? - 1. Supper, Love?
Supper, Love
(or, 'Tablecloth blues')
To dine with me
You'd face off with the Spaghetti
(slow spread of stain on ruined cloth)
you'd stare down the bread-sticks
(gently pulled apart,
gradually consumed)
you'd even use your cutlery
proper
(salad fork?
soup spoon?)
You'd forgive the unfamiliar
feel of metal intrusions
even as dinner
falls from your mouth,
a garish smile,
bread crumbs.
