a fourteenth poem...'double negative'

Outside the bar last night

As I waited with you at our formica table

I thought how beautiful you were,

In your little red dress,

Wavy black hair pushed behind your ears,

You and your deep, dark eyes.


Then, in the cinema later

When the opening credits rolled

And you looked at me

Your finger to your bee-stung lips,

It crossed my mind whether you are the kind

To ever reflect on your life,

The kind to pour over every cellulose acetate

In search of a memory

Or a lost and fleeting feeling.
