Computer Instructress
My walk takes me through a dimly lit hallway in a downtown business building Of Natchez, Mississippi From around the corner a woman walks toward me I immediately recognize her I ask her “Do you remember me?” She smiles wide and replies, “I sure do. You were mighty sassy but we got you through it.” I smile back and reply, “You were quiet when my eyes followed you around the room. But the shy ones are my kind. What are you doing tonight?” She says, “You mean after thirty years you still have a crush on me? How could I say no to such persistence?” I reply, “You haven’t aged a year since I last saw you.” “Flattery will get you everywhere. Now let’s do the dinner thing at the Eola Hotel. I can’t promise you more.” “I admire a woman who tests the waters.” “You just stand on the curbside of the sidewalk.” “I’d like to buy you supper. Is that ok with you?” “Do I have to answer that?”

This one came from a dream last night. Yes, your tag's words were definitely the feel here. After thirty years she reappears in my dream. Hadn't thought about her in years.

It is cool when a dream inspires writing, John ... especially when someone appears in one from the deep past. Excellent expression

Thanks so much, Rick. I'll never forget those afternoons in the computer room with her. She was so shy which made her all the more enchanting.

Thanks so much, Cat. Indeed to do believe many of my dreams are indicators of something. For this poem, I took the essence of the dream and embellished it considerably. The original dream had a feeling of deep loneliness and sadness touched with the beauty of her smile and kind words. Thanks for the keen observation, my friend.

Definitely something more to this in a spiritual sense. I agree..there's a message here. You have a very active and open mind, psychic...I think there's a lot going on with you in that sense and not just in this situation. Enjoyed

Much gratitude Michael for your great observations about my mind and your enjoyment of this piece. Indeed, my poem probably doesn't fully evoke the depth of feeling of the dream. Deep nostalgia and grief were part of the dream as well as the joy of seeing someone from my past. I appreciate your comment very much as a portrait of my mind and my writing. Thank you my friend. John
