In conversation with a highball,
I asked how it woulda voted
-the ice clinked and melted with a swirl-
and that meant for sure
'it doesn't signify.'

At the table with a bombshell
-or at least a wannabee-
her smoke-ring blew towards my eyebrows
to tell me right then:
I didn't signify.

Is this true? it seems like it may be. I like it because I can see it, I can almost smell the whiskey in the highball and the smoke, all that's missing is a little jazz perhaps. Very clever. Val

Ewan is very good at this sort of literary teleportation. He pops up in the most unlikely places.

Men never understand what women say, why would we understand their non-verbal communication? :-) Thanks all for your kind comments.
