Day 18

Layers of Imagination
How quickly a debonair order
"Venti coffee and a grande macchiato"
Turns into an established acquaintance
An unexpected conversation
An awkward first date.
Him: rich, worldly, handsome
Her: poor, naive, hippie
Almost like a fairy-tale, the peasant girl is
Rescued from her menial life
By a dashing bourgeoisie gent
In his sexy convertible.
Except it really is fantasy,
Not reality at all.
Him: too experienced, dangerously good-looking
Her: innocent, yet intuitive
Gut feeling: stay away.
Danger is alluring, but often not
Substantial.
He will compare her to other women
She will compare him to Jesus
And both will fall short.
