cologne.
while sitting
in the little waiting room
at my optometrist’s office
I looked up from my reading
as a man entered
the wave of his cologne
washing over me
my nose was overwhelmed
drowning out my other senses
I knew it was being absorbed
into my clothes, my skin, my hair
my eyes began to burn and water
luckily he was called first
I felt for the doctor
and was reminded of him
when I entered the examining room
where he had left his mark
moving on
toward his next unsuspecting victim.
