Another from the Regal Series... This one is about a young couple and there interactions in the quiet lobby as I watched them from behind the cash register...
The child sits happily
and munches on his chips.
Do you love him for his young moustache?
Do you love him for his pride –
his experience with the cinema?
Do you love him for the level of “geek”
he has fallen to?
Do you love him for the subject
of the conversations you have with him –
those insanely boring moments of dialogue he enjoys
and you loathe?
No, you do not love him at all –
you wish those chips were poison.
