I've never eaten a salad so fast
as when my best friend and I
went to a restaurant where
a man with one leg
and a loud voice
squawked about
something artistic,
and since I'm still a little girl
in body, soul and mind
I sit on my feet.
My friend and I stopped talking
about something artistic as well
and listened to them.
"I gotta take a ****
said the one-legged man,
and though my back was turned to him,
I could hear how tall and broad he was.
As he passed me-
that's how I saw his one leg-
he stopped at my table,
noticing my insecurities
and said,
"I wish I could still sit on my legs like that.
Hey get a load of this,"
he said to his friend with
blue eyes and no teeth.
"hah," said his comrade
and the one legged man
hobbled off to take a ****
I guess,
but now I'm left wondering
Did he mean before he lost his leg
or before he was that small?
I thought it was a relevant question.
