met your parents today
right there in Applebees
in the next booth
and I thought of those times
on Buckingham where
we watched a game or
melded minds
------------spock-like
------------in intense interrogary (if I can invent a word)
me captivated by subterranean
voice and deeper broader thoughts
that spread
like sci-fi tentacles
on the wings of a joke
the night was always chilly
when I got into my rust-covered omni
but I knew something that overcame cold
something about a friendship forged
with fearsome bonds
recalled in an afternoon encounter at
Applebees
