I always thought making up
would be over coffee
age thirty.

You look hurried
sip your tea quickly,
too hot.

I try to calm myself
look into the mug
more than at you.

I thought you'd bring 
your wife in tow
she parks the car out front and waits.

Didn't realize it would take
breakfast for fifty
and music up loud.

Twenty minutes
and then being friends.
