Shake hands
And blow each other's guts out

Caveat Emptor
You knew what I was after
It was there in black and white
In Arial, I'd typed
My longings and desires
How did I mislead you
I was open, raw, facadeless
Told the truth, regardless
And watched you walk away

Acting on impulse
"If a man you've never met before suddenly gives you flowers..."
He's probably a stalker

Swoon
Feverish anticipation
Eyes meet
A smile
A look
A sigh
Dentist says
"Now open wide..."

Now I know you don't want me
I've regained my clarity
and your faults that I rose-tinted
Revealed for all to see

Rearguard
The size of my bottom
Has always been a problem
But I fear it's increasing in size
When I go out on dates
With foolish hopes raised
To be dashed by polite little lies:
"I think that you're lovely..."
(They whisper it)
"but..."
or "You're interesting..."
"...but...but..."
Yet their muttered excuses
Compliments, "buts", and ruses
Work together as a perfect disguise

Brush with fate
I could love you, if you'd let me
But my words
Moth-fragile
Smash against the lightbulb of your talent
& your self-contained heart
Wounded
Grounded
You don't notice as I fall

Similar but different
You've heard of Foucault's Pendulum
Showing earth's rotation
I think I'm Foucault's yoyo
Showing sarcasm and emotion

Back to the future
Hidden smile
Memory clouded
By detritus of years
A frozen moment -
Image - pinsharp, clears
Then dims, fades, stumbles
Thought process fumbles
The fogcloud reappears

Beauty doctrine
Years of diet tips and makeup ads
Undone in a single man's phrase:
"You're gorgeous"
