Fay's father
wants to know
the content
of the film
she'd seen with
Benedict
a Western
film she says
Western what?
He asks her
USA
and cowboys
she replies
he eyes her
and did good
overcome the
evil ones?
Yes she says
the good won
at the end
and what else?
He asks her
there was love
shown also
she replies
and how shown?
He asks her
by showing
affection
between them
she tells him
but does not
tell him of
the kissing
or holding
that she'd seen
or that she'd
kissed Benny
on the cheek
he seems pleased
that is good
I am glad
you're aware
of human
weakness and
fall of man
he states
Fay stands there
holding on
to the thought
of that kiss
watching her
father's face
his dark eyes
in case he
can read her
very thoughts
in her mind
off you go
he tells her
help Mother
with the chores
so she leaves
carrying
in her mind
the warm kiss
on Benny's
right hand cheek
the highlight
of the week.
