awkwardness in the face of grace

her eyes caught mine and i stumbled
(i've forgotten my own name!)

i've never thought of eyes like headlights
(i'm not a deer!  i'm not a deer!)

the counter wasn't this tall yesterday
(don't drop it, you fool! say something!)

"um, hi.  here's your computer."
(how do you turn this thing on?)

she's like staring into the sun without hurting
(qwerty! qwerty! who moved "enter"?)

"see, it works now, all fixed."
(i'll never find gloves with this many thumbs.)

if she smiles, i think i'll pass out
(fifty feet, then door, count steps.  left. right.)

"bye!" hey, thumbs are good for waving
(i've never seen the sun set by turning a corner.)

This is so unique...I love the back and forth of it.  And the last line is great!

i just calls 'em like i sees 'em.
the event was fun - the results were devastating.

"Giggles...Doesnt attraction make us silly??!!"

it generates poetry.
i refuse to be "silly" - i'm crazy!

for two years, no poems!
and then...
