Gastronomic libidos - 19-12-2000

As the Cabernet greys my teeth
I bask in the glow of self-indulgence,
accompanied by clichéd Latin tones
and cutlery on china percussion.

Waiters with perfunctory manners
and plastic smiles, ferry food
with a side dish of testosterone
both hot from the kitchen.
Mediterranean libidos ooze
their sickly sweet charm.
eyes betraying lecherous intent.

At the whim of every female
they oil from table to table
dishing out sustenance and
flirtation in equal amounts.
Needless to say,
the debris of my meal remains
until my wife returns.

She loves it here.
