Counting down
Looking forward
Memories driving
That need
Imagination helping
Complete it
Dim Lights
Rich aromas
Gloved hands
Like a surgery
Tiny portions
Colorful rendition
Different levels
Sit up, sit down
All halted
With a bang
Disappointment
Expectation quashed
Like a plate thrown
“Splat!”
The dream
Shattered
A dear friend planned a dinner date with myself and others to a Japanese restaurant. She had to cancel because she had another engagement. I only had a piece of paper to scribble. This is what appeared to ease the disappointment.

The build-up and let down were clear. Well done. I get it.

A scrap of paper is all we need. In a poem I once wrote “It’s through my pen I wind release”. Your slice captures that, well, poetically. You captured that dissappointment perfectly.
