Transformation

The tang of red wine
blends with the taste
of cigarette
on her breath.
Her lips are moist
as she whispers
into his ear,
“You’re mine,”
before stepping back
and pirouetting away.

Her eyes flash with
want and mischief
and he follows her
down the hall,
to emerge from the cocoon
of this night
a better man than
the one that went in.

Principle of the Dangerous Precedent

“Every public action which is not customary either is wrong, or if it is right it is a dangerous precedent. It follows that nothing should ever be done for the first time.”

F. M. Cornford
