She came around
wearing a pink miniskirt
and bright red lipstick
that reeked sexiness
She told me all about
her boyfriend of 5 years
and what a disappointment
he’s become and that
she’s looking for a real man
but doesn’t know where to start
so I tell her
in a low voice
that I ain’t
the one
she’s looking for—
to be totally flabbergasted
when she says
she knows that already
and doesn’t want me at all
and never has
I look at her firm tits
and tight ass
and “Bitch!” is the first word
that comes to mind
but I bite my tongue
to keep it from expressing itself
tis a shame
I think
and her blue eyes
contradict her convictions
but I let it pass
for better or worse
It ain’t the time
or the place
for anything to happen
I watch her tight ass
swaying toward the door
and she turns to me
and says “Thank you.”
Though God only knows
what the Hell
she’s thanking me for.
I experienced something like
I experienced something like that, most recently in 1992, and the memory still stings just a bit. I think it happens far more than any of us really imagine.

We all have certain regrets
We all have certain regrets that haunt us. That is part of the human tragedy/comedy. If we ever learned things would get mighty boring.
