A couple sits
In the corner of a dive bar
She’s smiling
Absentmindedly pushing around
Scrabble pieces
Rearranging the letters
Admiring her work.
He hardly notices what she’s doing
Because his eyes never leave hers
And in her presence
Everything else is a blur
Suddenly he checks his watch
They jump off their stools
And run out of the bar
Left behind are words unseen:
YOU
CHANGED
EVERYTHING
