thing i noticed about her was
her white
feet
that dangled out of
the truck
window
as she waited for me at
Hunan West.
she was nice enough though
to put her
sandals
on as we went in to eat.
she told me she was in AA,
trying to kick
the habit of too many drinks.
i asked her if it was okay
if i ordered a Mai Tai, she said fine,
then two became three,
by the end of the night
after General Tao's chicken
and rice
she was sucking on the orange
slices, eating chunks
of pineapple
from my glass.
after she stuck the tiny purple
umbrella
behind her ear,
i drove her to a meeting,
where they had
my Achille's heel,
chocolate cake.
