Kream & Kone

He found me eating alone at the Cape Cod Kream & Kone, a pitiful potentiality on a summer vacation. I was an 'old' maid, an oxymoron, geared up for endings, not fresh beginnings formulating from  three tables away,  across a plastic plate  sloshed with tartar sauce.  My lips, greasy  from fried clam strips. My ears, deafened by the drum of time, thumming, thumming, a twenty-four hour timpani, and constant cacophony of scornful song. "Old maid," old... maid. Yet, there he was.  His Elvis eyes played me like an electric guitar. I trembled, in sync with cosmic chords. High overhead, flutter, as dozens of  big-bellied, bug-eyed cupids strung their bows, beholding this accidental moment, serendipitous,  yet so right, I didn't care at all if my onion rings got cold.
