We talk in an easy mood
Mr T talks about the slices
of Dobos Torta
he had ordered
while Mrs I R is congenial
having invited the poet
for a bite at Jenny’s
China food
officially called KIANG.
For Mrs I R salad and tender
chicken
while Mr T fancies shrimps
and rice.
Jenny recommends veggies
and glass noodles for me
quite delicious I think.
We talk about philosophers
Diogenes
who lived in a barrel
Camus
who loved fast cars
Alexander the Great
who conquered the world
Napoleon
who could not.
There are two sides to Mr T:
The gregarious and
the pretty stubborn one –
Just like Mrs B –
The helpful friend and
awkward spouse.
