One More Poem by Mary Lou

I've read all of the poems in her new book now, and here's one I like especially.  It sounds just like Mary Lou:

Breakfast with Carla

She is thinking about going out
With an actor,
A big step for her.
She's a corporate lawyer.
"I can't believe I like him,"
She says.
"We're so different."
"You may not know it,"
I tell her,
"But there is a Bohemian inside you."
She drinks coffee in silence,
Thinking it over.
"You're right," she says,
"I never realized it before."
"Well," I say, "Why do you think
We get along so well?
I'm a writer on welfare
Who just got out of Bellevue.
That's certainly Bohemian."
She finishes her salami and eggs
And I order another decaf.
"Maybe things will work out," she says.
