Cafeteria Crush
We have this time
Classmates in English Lit.
Chairs adjoining.
But now Cafeteria
Eleven AM Wednesday.
Warm coffee, muffins
And Neil Young, Joni Mitchell
On the Radio.
Intimate corner of the room.
Your essay topic
Has brought on the laughter.
Your laugh is dynamite.
Think about it after.
My hand slowly creeps
To yours, and holds it.
You do not mind.
Sustaining the touch.
Next few days
Hold much.
And Friday, a movie.
