Jamie walked alone
on the Manhattan sidewalk
she made her morning trip
to the subway
last night, under the moon
where shadows allowed
lovers to steal kisses
in the distance
guitar music played
the musician was expecting
a bountiful night
strumming under a dogwood
with “TIPS WELCOME”
written on a slate
what a sweet adventure last night
while working the acrylics
with a palette knife
Jamie noticed him
he watched as she
scraped paint on canvas
his voice, meek as a lamb
he offered to buy her coffee
she told him “no, thank you”
he left on his bicycle
returned with tulips
she shared her spinach, avocado wrap
while observing dancing cardinals
they chuckled, observing a drunken bee
attempt to check the flowers
in the excitement
he asked her for a date
