Merchandise
I walked into my favorite coffee shop.
She was in front of me, ordering.
She turned around and met my gaze,
at first, disinterest, then hunger.
I know because I felt the same.
She also seemed vaguely familiar,
but I could not recall.
We sat at the same booth.
At first she stroked my arm,
then she stroked my head.
I may have been dumb,
but at this point I needed no more
cues to know what her intentions where.
Then it hit me; she had been a client
at a place I used to work
only a few years before.
There was a rule: "Do not socialize
with any of the clients until they have ceased
to be clients for five years.
I was so pulled into her already,
I could not stop.
I remembering saying, "Fuck the rules!"
I was wrong, the rules were right.
I should have never have fondled the merchandise.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
