Butterfly Wings and Isms

He held a tray piled high with isms

She watched him intently

Mesmerized by his dark eyes

Turning away only to mash the bread

Of her butterfly wing sandwich

Smeared with mayonnaise of crushed pearls

Hearing a crash, she returned her attention

She watched as the isms shattered on the ground

Leaving only surrealism, minimalism, and postmodernism intact

The waiter pranced around

Enjoying the lighter load

Cutting his trouser leg on a jagged bit of traditionalism

Nearly tearing his flesh

Smiling--he continued handing out his hors d’oeuvres
