FRIDAY AT 2PM

He took today off
to come buy me lunch
and we dashed out
before opening the store
It was the same conversation
of his dreams and plans
and shortcomings
and I gave him the same
smile he's seen for years
I asked him to pose
for a photo shoot
he told me sometime
in the spring
The snow was falling
on our way back
His coat was not
heavy enough
I made him coffee
We talked a while longer
The phone kept ringing
and people came to browse
It was soon later
than we thought
He hugged me like
a lost lover
Pulled patchouli hair
to his face and breathed in
as I enjoyed the hardness
of his back and arms
but nothing more
My used to be once
My forever on the side man
My my....
where did the time go?
