my olives marinated in the gin of my martini
carefully set on the unusually wide edge
of my pink eagle clawed bath tub
in my kitchen
previously also along the wide edges i placed
and lit as many candles as i found could fit
tall round short and fat
before the bubbles commandeered the tubby sea
the flames and water combined for a spectacular dance
so caught in the trance of a fiery romance
i picked up my martini and finished in one gulp
olives stranded on the bottom green with envy
Tim is a published author and singer/songwriter. Originally from Easton, Pa. But the real formative years were spent
in NYC. After a long run we loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly, Hills that is. Not true, but I like it. Actually the wilds of Arizona.
