june of 04

it was on the lawn, where first she came into view
cabled eyes, a pitter at table-tops, crossed legs
my friend, a dreadful romantic talked on and on
abotu her favored features and her dazzling walk
and wanted badly enough that we did
for us to follow her
donw past the water mark of creek sides and
under the awning of the fountains where she sat to read murakami
and he stood motionless, telling me
how he would marry her one day.
