26th Floor
A Gibson

26th Floor
Late lunch
Buying shirts
To send to boarding school
Pedestrian
26th floor too far to walk
Jim ahead of me
Carrying a big pizza
Got in car
Jim pushed 26
One other
Very small
Man
Backed in back
Hiding?
I ask Jim
If I can buy a slice from him
And cast my eye
From the box
To the man
Quickly avert gaze
Whisper looking straight ahead
Do you mind if I say hello
He whispers No.
I look down at him
Not quite so divine
Because his head hits my elbow
Mel, Mel Gibson
I love you.
Phones thrown
Wives blown
Fifteen kids to feed
A star
