Lunch Time Space Occupancy: Romantic Email Sonnet

“Can I join you for lunch?”
It’s not really a request
To find something to munch.
Instead, something I like best:

Space Occupancy with you.
That’s what “Can I join?” means.
It’s not eating that I want to do.
It’s seeing you live, not just in dreams.

It’s occupying nearly the same space
As you are operating in.
It’s being in the same place
At the same time that makes me grin.

“Can I join you for lunch” is not an invitation to eat.
It’s a request to be near you, beside you, that makes me complete.

What To Eat When We First Meet: Revolutionary IMprov Poem

Every date comes complete/
with the question of what to eat/
when we first meet.

We could go in earlier;/
check out dives near the theater./
There’s always Thai/
that we could try./
Or good BBQ,/
Or hamburgers, too!

We could hop /
to a local coffee shop,/
or even Starbucks,/
Seattles Best, or Tully’s (yuck!)

We could park it/
by the local market,/
and in their food case see/
if there’s weird salads or pitas in their deli./
And we could sit out (unless it’s cold and dark)/
and munch /
our lunch /
in the local urban park.

Or head to the nearby /
giant court of food!/
So many choices to try! /
And they’re all good!/

OR we could just/
avoid all the fuss/
you and me/
and eat each other’s /
energy.
