Bora born
Dumbed down _
As I write
on this night
she teases
him in fun.
Trouble is
it's his biz
to tell her
so then run.
What he said
can't be read
she backed off
while he spoke.
Body song
said he's wrong
his manner
past a joke.
Off they go
strolling slow
one behind
the other.
They must know
they're on show
she slows to
recover.
Then they part
like two darts
on the far
street corner.
Hand to head
nothing said
safe to love
another.
