COCKTAILS MISSED

don’t be disappointed
by the lady’s inevitability
no point is ever unseen

they’re all so airy thin
but you want to offer
a business card, limb
just in case of grace

they’ll curl-up to sleep
with their dresses attached
for drinks under the doona

  3. Indeed, a business card must be offered by a gentleman! She might awaken and wish to know who she was with..before she slept.
