Literato
Reason was left out
shivering in the cold
And a can of daylight was opened
and left unused on the counter
A container of afterthoughts
lay spilled on the coffee table
Newspaper sandwiches, dictionary bread
and commentary juice
were brought out on a tray
And we nibbled on bits of conversation
and politely left some verbs
and vowels on each napkin,
lest the host think we were crude
I crossed my leg and left my
participles dangling,
tersely speaking of the future tense
teasingly so about a past perfect
I watched my P's and adjectives
making sure not to mix my plurals
