In the middle
Of files
And papers
And empty coffee cups
He found
That crumpled pamphlet
That had come
Shuffled in the
Very many
Layers of newspaper,
The one
That had come in handy
When he had wanted
To scribble down
The number
From a road side pillar.
“Fresh flowers”
It read.
He was amazed
The way people
Found door
To their dreams.
He smoothened
The wrinkles
From the paper
As he waited
For his call
To connect.
A single red rose
Preferably with
Dew drops
On it
And
Yes, of course
There will be
A message too
“Yours, Once again, Mrs. Smith.”
The order placed,
Mr. Smith wrapped his work
Earlier than usual.
And drove back home.
He had plans for tonight.
