Two Women... Poem by RIC BASTASA

Two Women...



an ex-priest he took her
as wife,
well, she was once slim
and well poised,
then 15 years
no kids, medically
confirmed,

last night, i also took
someone beside me
very much like
her in all aspects,

same history, same ex-boyfriends,
and when they met at the
resto bar where we were trying
to have fun
or a break from the monotony
of this institution

i noticed they did not talk much
i guess, their language, which they
understood fully
must be different

short cuts, and
clarity, words limp...
