If Only
Irish Coffee
I’ve served this mansion for generations, and am still an object of
appreciation, carefully polished so the lustre of my carefully matched wood
glows.
If only I could speak, what revelations
could be revealed to the guests arranged round my perfect oval form. I listen
to new conversations as another dinner party is in progress, but I can see as
well as hear.
Two arms surreptitiously descend and
hands briefly link in an exchange of affection. Two legs slowly extend and feet
entwine in a silent dance of passion.
If only I could speak, because those two
legs are male.
