artichoke hearts

how do you fall in love at a
restaurant
between
artichoke hearts
and the course of action taken
when spilt wine became a
concern

my dress was wet
yes, but your eyes were wetter
and i laughed
at the waitress as she raised
a brow -  i raised my skirt to
dry
you bit the (last)
heart
i bit the corner of your ear
with asking for
a towel
to dry
while ordering
the special of the day.......you

dressing? (yes)
            on the side...please
