Entering the revolving doors
an idea in his mind
the patriarch sat down
for a minute he was blind
Startled by a voice
looking at the woman with a glance
began an awkward conversation
her beauty was enhanced
He spoke softly
with a radical plan
they could make a fortune
he asked for her hand
Sitting up straight
she looked him in the eye
speaking from her heart
she could not lie
Sometimes people think they want something
not thinking it through
acting on emotion
especially after having a brew
In this cafe
it’s just you and I
for all you know
I could be a spy
The man thought for a moment
then got up and left
realizing he was about to commit
to certain death
The woman had a sly smile on her face
she was not a fool
being a black widow
was ever so cool
Waiting for her next victim
in the dim cafe light
listening to jazz music
it had been an interesting night
