Allegory of the Cave Discussed on a Lunch Break

Kissing whispers into’n ear--
tink tink--  of a lightful flame
Ceaseless and cool to touch.
“Just talking shop,” he says, 
but I overheard him say it too

Grease stained, grit black nailbeds--
“Don’t go getting poetical
Just bringing nothing but trouble back”
Plum plump, or tasty too
and mouthfuls and mouthfuls
Toe tripping on caveyard cracks

Matchbook strikers send sparks, and us too.
I asked
It doesn’t really matter to me or to whom shall I look
