Shades of Love At dinner I told Bernardo about my offshore bank accounts. He smiled as he reached for more Lobster Thermador and poured another glass of Chardonnay. How soon do we sail for the Cape? His eyes the azure blue of his cravat. I love him. He loves my money. We both love the Cape. How do we know what we love? Our pocketbook tells us. A shop girl in an upstairs flat loves herbal tea and her cat. And when my money and I are spent, Here, kitty, kitty.
Happily Ever After? That is the difference between you and me. Cloth napkins. It will never last. With each new move we lose some sweetness. And slip covers? You don’t get it. Still, I admire your bravado and to a slightly lesser extent, your thinking. Like most cowboys, you are conservative. I can look at that two ways, or not at all if I want your boots beneath my bed. We thought we could come to this bridge, sit a while and find a solution. Never has steelwork seemed so serene. Every day as the grapes come in they reveal a verdict on decisions made earlier. I know you will never find snow peas more attractive than beans, or asian squash more handsome than jack-o’-lanterns. You don’t seem to mind our differences, but I go to sleep wondering what kind of person doesn’t like sushi?
