A Generous Quantity of Quality Time

                                                                  

 

Friday night:

A Randy Mayfield concert, at Chesterfield Presbyterian;

Late dinner at Bristol Seafood Grill;

Sleep in your king-size bed's safekeeping.

 

Saturday morning:

Pilates and yoga, at Club Fitness.

 

Saturday afternoon:

Lunch at Pumpernickles Delicatessen;

The Adjustment Bureau, at the AMC Creve Coeur 12.

 

Saturday night:

Dinner, in Clayton, at Café Napoli;

Overnight at my Art Nouveau–decorated apartment.

 

Sunday morning:

Embracing in naked serenity;

Your inconsiderate cell phone's petulant alarm;

Rousing, showering together, dressing;

Attending Central Presbyterian, across the street,

Being renewed by Pastor Dan Doriani's sermon.

 

Sunday afternoon:

Brunch at Duff's, in the Central West End;

Exploring Clayton Road to its terminus,

Then north, on Route 109,

And Wild Horse Creek Road, west,

In our new silver Corvette;

A visit with my nonagenarian mother, at her home;

B'nai Amoona Cemetery,

To place her flowers on my father's grave.

 

Sunday night:

Dinner in Frontenac — Cardwell's at the Plaza;

Evening in your den, watching Shakespeare in Love;

Surrendering to dream-laced sleep.

 

Monday morning:

Parting,

I for breakfast at the Frontenac Hilton, to write,

Then on to work;

You to your appointments, chores, commitments.

 

Monday afternoon:

Missing each other.

 

Monday night:

I compose this poem, at Brio Tuscan Grille;

You eat at home;

Both of us anticipating Wednesday evening,

Eagerly...eagerly.
