Pork Chops
for Cindy, who paid for them
You invited me to dinner,
I went to dinner.
Tom and Bob were there.
They saw everything
and they are willing
to testify about
your curly red hair,
how you plied my
reason with wine,
how you handed me
the bread, already buttered,
how you captured
my imagination
and fed it pork chops.
