"they sat on a floral blanket
basking in the sun
a view overlooking the outer banks of the city
the sweet nip of wine from crystal mugs
ripe raspberries and grapes
still in packages from the store
talking about their problems
and how they were idiots themselves
the two couldn’t talk about how they enjoyed this time with anyone else
if they did
rain would soak the blanket
flies would peck at the fruit
the glasses would shatter
but for now they were content
with this hidden enjoyment "
