This evening, no different
a pot of tea
family stragglers gather
around a table
always casual conversation
guess what? she said.
Juan Samuel came into the
post office today
oh he was so nice
I’m sending a package to my mother, he said
Spanish accent, pronounced
English, perfected
so young
far away from home
Juan, the Phillies second baseman
a fan favorite
he has the nicest smile and the prettiest teeth
a little embarrassing to think of how she glowed
she seemed starstruck, bedazzled.
I bet he thought the same about her
I know I was dazzled by her
my entire life
we all were.
