Maryann Hazen Stearns
In Your Pocket

Because she says it to you
with a single look
underneath half-lowered lids
inviting you to bite

A dilemma arises
For all you know or hope
she may simply be sleepy
under the dark influence of night

You wonder if you should speak
nonchalantly pay for her drink
move over a seat or two
wait for her to begin

the conversation which includes lips
tongue and teeth movements
possibly the placement of her hand
above your knee and below the bulge
in your pocket
