Sweet Croissants

Sweet croissants, sweet croissants
powder-sugared sweet croissants
morning run to Good Life Grocery
pining for some sweet croissants
The bins were empty, delivery was late
no luck for any sweet croissant
chocolate, plain or almond crusted
for my baby sweet croissant
Read the papers, chatted with the clerk
she said her boyfriend would never run
out unshaven

to buy her a sweet croissant

At 7:30 they came smiling
chocolate, plain and almond crusted
Took them home and told my baby
how I waited for the sweet croissants
She gave me a kiss, patted my cheek, said,
Someone’s sweetheart is always sweeter
than one’s own sweet croissant

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!
