table

Take this table

This perfect rectangle

1900 French oak

Who else sat round

This perfect rectangle

With kids and hopes and friendship?

And who else

Smeared errant gravy

Off it with their finger tips?

And who else (Who)

Got drunk and danced on top of it

Not caring if they slip?

And who else (Who)

Had hushed midnight words

Tears staining as they drip?

And who else (Who)

Got a little heated

Giggling bent over it?

And who else

Padded every corner

To save their baby's tiny lip?

And who else

Left little rings of coffee

At dawn as they left for a trip?

And who else

Had all their best friends round it

Cackles, shouts and showmanship?
