the first time was in new orleans bourbon street in levi jeans stench of liquor and big cat's perfume magnolias blooming in the month of june he asked for ten, but i gave him nine the fortune teller cautioned me to wait for a sign when he didn't show up, i was gone in a flash went back to my room alone and crashed next time i saw him, we were in little rock walking down the hall in his t shirt and one sock He told me a story how he locked himself out i couldn't resist his puppy dog eyes and little pout i shared the hotel phone, a drink and a smile the maid brought the key, he only stayed for awhile i said it was late and we both needed our rest although i wanted him to stay i will confess i was running late, late, late to catch a plane for home he was leaning against my rent car talking on a cell phone when i unlocked the doors he climbed right on in announced we're on our way to vegas i feel lucky that we will win, win, win... i giggled, stammered and was taken totally away off guard i rebutted saying he didn't think i would go so soon that far his eagerness and smile both disappeared he admitted that no one had ever given up a trip to vegas with him in all his adult years... since then i went my way and he went his until yesterday i looked up while sipping on a gin fizz there he was bigger than Dallas he walked over asked when i would be ready for the imperial palace |
