The Meeting



It's odd
waiting for you like an old friend
with mutual history
while truthfully
our contact has always been announced
by the bling
of 'you've got mail'

I sit
awkwardly
in the lobby wing back chair
as canned music
accompanies my composition of
introductory sentences
witty conversation
anticipated silences

And I wonder
will you like me
with
skin on?
