red wine

someone begins to talk
about wine.
red wine specifically.
the grapes,
the vines, the wineries
from here to napa county.
he pushes his glasses
up on his nose,
inhales his chest then
begins to teach.
you start to doze,
your mind wanders,
you stare at a lamb chop
on a plate
with other lamb chops
across the room.
you wonder if it's
better warm
or cold. is there
mint jelly?
how can you become
invisible
and move towards the food.
