Ladies who lunch
 
Wine has over rouged your cheeks.
Bouncing up ,  you must show me 
why “Mathematics is truth” ,on your iPhone.
Whilst behind a rictus grin
I try to calm my screaming thoughts
in the aftermath of the letter bomb that exploded 
on my door mat earlier this morning ;
which I do not mention because it is your birthday.

Superb, like a bullet into the mind, leaving a gasp, almost a choke.

A facet of a drama in a blink, a flash back scene in a playlette ... I agree with Ann...

Who ? Where? When? How? and Why?
