just like that
there was a switch in her mind that flipped
And reasonable democracy
gave way
to sovereign dictatorship
something about the way you cradled your coffee mug in your palm
while trying to open the car door and talk on the phone to your brother
at the same time
took away her option of resistance
She became overwhelmed by the way you leaned your body against door frames and talked with both hands
The way you concentrated
every time you stirred your coffee with a spoon
They all became like a flood to her and in that forceful deluge, her list of pros and cons washed away and she was left with only you.
clumsy, beautiful you.
