acquaintanceship

they herald him and hang on him - unblemished, 20/20
standing close like she used to
touching sheepishly the forearm he extends
to steady their nerves.


in a sense, in a way, he will always love them more
their opinions - unblemished, 20/20
their kisses so foreign
their legs so light.


                     he untwists her metaphors to mean
'never would'
                     when she always was saying         
 'never could'
