Lunch with Margaret

I don’t think you understand technology.
You were blissfully clueless when syncing,
Your calendar with the family one.
You never suspected we might see your appointments.
How did “Lunch with Margaret” go earlier?
Is she prettier than me?
Does her smile warm your nights,
As my care warms your day?
Does she know you love fried bologna?
Can she tell your headaches are bad,|
When your eyes tighten and pale at the edges?|
This is how love dies,|
In clandestine lunch dates,
And isolation.
