Tip

Afternoon,
She asks me
What am I thinking
A strange question for
Me given the current
Circumstances so I
Gaze into her eyes
And tell her I am
Unable to recall
The exact word
But I think it is
A “C” word
She smiles
Try she
Says
So slowly
Delicately
Then firmly
I mutter it is
Just on the tip
Of my tongue.
