Come over any time
Mrs Debit said
and don't mind
if David's not here

I’m sure
I can get you
something to eat
or such

ok
I said
walking back
down her drive

wondering what happened
to David
but she said
he was out

so I couldn't stay
that time
but she sure had
a nice manner with her

I thought
stopping at the bottom
of her drive
looking back

at the house
she waved at me
and I waved back
David said

go around the back
if there's no answer
from the front door
and so I did

and there
was Mrs Debit
in her lilac
or such colour bikini  

laying there
in the back yard
by the pool
O sorry

I said
thought David was here
he said to come
around back

she sat up
and gazed at me
for a moment or two
O

she said
you must be Benny?
yes that's right
I said

David said
to come around
he was going
to show me his

collection of Elvis records
she smiled
and got up
and walked over to me

O he's had to go out
on an errand for me
and won't be back
until late

she said
I could smell her perfume
from where I stood
or was it sun oil?

I couldn’t decide
you can stay for a bit
if you want
she said

I can get you
something cold
or cool
no I’m ok

I said
backing off a little
finding her figure
kind of warming

maybe I’ll comeback
another time
I said
ok

she said
I was reading
and sort of snoozed off
I nodded

and saw the book
and red hat
by the pool  
you stay can

if you wish
she said
if you have swimming gear
you can swim

in the pool
I’m sure I have
a pair of David’s trunks
around some place

no I’m ok
must get back
I said
another time maybe

she said smiling
sure
I said
I'd love that

she closed
the front door
and was gone
I walked back

on home
carrying the image
of her in my head
come over

any time
she had said.
