lexi looks at me and gently inquires
'is that all you require?"
and rifles thru the scarves piled on her bed.
This woman is getting into my head.
'Of course not!" I implore
and my innocent gaze goes to the floor.
Lexi. Decidedly quiet.. allows me to think.
Watching as I discover the link...
of what I said and what is true.
Her intelligent eyes can see the break through.
"Thank you!" I say
she let's me take the credit. This is her way.
We laugh. me thru tears her thru her knowing glow.
'Can I have a chocolate bar?'
With decided sincerity
lexi emphatically says 'no.'
