you know the respective weights
of the balls used in ping-pong
and sight; never hesitated to
inform us with dry humour
that eyeballs would have
less velocity
eighty minutes of wasted time
and we agreed, unsurprised,
nothing less was expected of you
than perfection
and you lived up to our demands
as if it was what you wanted too

in november i eat chinese;
remember the way you ordered
the same thing every week, and
think of all the things
we never had in common

Thank you for entering my contest with this poem
this is an interesting portrait that you have painted - I really like the way that the memory is so clear even though the ending shows that time has passed since you have seen her last - beautiful tribute
Keep writing
