Magnolian Man

  You were courteous and politeIn an off white wayHolding my chairFor me to sitNo sexual body languageNot one tiny bitCream breast of chickenServed on crisp white plateConversation beigeSafe job, safe life, safe… An illusion of your ignorance My foot tapped in irritationI wanted racey redI desired topazI screamed scarletAnd you?You were MagnoliaOur first and our last date
