Hour 18- Table for Two

Table for two

how different
my voice sounded
the first time
I ordered a table
for two

not long
before we were asking
for a high chair
onto table for four
and child menus

how my voice
didn’t make a sound
the first time
our son offered
to foot the bill

now we are back
to a table for two
our voices
excited at the sound
of the phone ringing

and now
alone at the table
the quiet
broken by the scrape
of spoon on plate
