With Him Poem by Joseph Camphouse

With Him



A look of interest.
Sizing me up like a piece of meat.
I catch what is thrown.
We are two at this table.

As we get up to leave,
I wait at the door as he relieves himself.
I am approached with a phone number.

I am with him, I say.
Defiance short lived.

Except when he is with her, I think.
