Red Patent Shoes -- revision

[billy]

a great ending. for me this is one of your best poems lizzie.

A man and woman sat across
from me. She reclined into him i like the play with the line break.
like he was a plush couch,
warming herself in his cashmere arms, good image, wonder if a word like reclining in his.. would be a better word choice?
a familiar blanket. The way she leaned on him, is the latter part of the line needed?
he seemed to be the only solid part of her.
She rarely spoke; he talked almost continuously.
When he spoke to me he said, "I noticed your shoes," can this line be separated some way, maybe with a line space, also could the line be shorter, [he said to me]

and she pulled away
from him, rigid,
as if to acquire
a wider image
of a foreign object. love these lines though from him isn't needed. the shock for her is palpable
Then she leaned
toward me,
and remained that way,
like a meerkat
on guard.
