all about you

he sits at the kitchen table
speechless
furrowed brow and mouth agape
the plate of fish and kale
intact
mostly and largely untouched

she returns the ice cream tub to
freezer
single bowl with several scoops
the flavors mingling
sweetly
as she leaves a parting shot

"It's not, you know."

eddy

in a bubble out of phase
with mainstream wants and wishes
courting with an icy glass
the rocks they roll
make whiskey splash
while others stroll oblivious
enamored with their dream
