I tend to write a lot of poems around the same location and this is another.
C & C as welcome as always.
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN
their benches could just as well have been
from here to the moon
for all they knew of each other each day
the orality of sandwiches
the lubrication of mineral water
and baring some skin for a brief burst of sun
dishevelled the office formal
into an altogether
natural invitation
to louche ingress of another world
far from the need to attend and respond
prepares the ground to suggest
that in time
foreplay would not be out of the question
before clouds burst
or winter descends
their distance
may shorten
in the familiar
the similarity of purpose
though they will have to make the first move
for the benches clearly will not
