NUTMEG ICE CREAM
I'm being self-centred now
The guy across the table from mine
Keeps salting his beer
The taste of nutmeg ice-cream
Mutes my palette so I hear
Only the rhythms of my heart
Light sparkles across the water
Of the bay down below
In competition with the banana boats
My thoughts meander
Across the water riding each ripple
Just for this evening
In a New Banana Town - population: you
I refuse to return a smile
To anyone especially a stranger
