A man erupted

[PrinceMyshkin]

into my café,
his girth extended
in more directions
than I had directions.

I had a cup of espresso.
He had a bowl.

I had a croissant.
He had two.

His head was about the size
of one of my grand-children.

I owe to this poem a very nice discussion about Diane Arbus (that's her name!:D ) and the evocation of your teaching memories... I love this, when we share things like that, and when we laugh in the very middle of it because one of us has said a goofy thing. Ah, thank you Jer. :)

I am confident that you are usually a very careful reader of the poems posted here, both the surface text and the sub-text, but he had two croissants, I had ONE.

First I laughed, then I pondered. Very nice.

Something very appetizing. I hunger for things.
