A CRACK IN THE GLASS




how many times would we sit like this
hace a meal, have a drink
not understand the language of the people around us
and not mind
and we would sit and eat our food and drink our drink
and everything would be just fine

and every time our friend would come with us
and every time we were here for food and drink
there was always a nick in your glass
not mine, yours
or there would be a crack in the side of your glass
and it was never a bad thing in the glass
it couldn't cut us, it couldn't hurt us
it didn't leak any drink to the table or to your chin
and our friend would always tell us that we could sue

and you know, we never though of suing
and we were never injured
and it wasn't an expensice place to eat anyways
and it always happened there when our friend came along
and the irony is that he is a lawyer
