Searching for months and she said “yes”
Didn’t sleep well
I can recall
Met John for lunch
Advice, he’s got a bunch
Bought the latest smells
Got strange looks from the office girls
Shower so much I’m red
Green gel on my bed
Yellow flashing on my back
Like a Tiger on the prowl
Guts gone home
Prefers a sack
Gotta go, can’t tell the boys
I chickened up
With all my toys
In the cab the neon sign
Said “shut his mouth”, you’re doing fine
Or holding place
So it seemed
She stood me up
Thank the world for that
Quick escape
When on my back

A ratatatatat
I slowly turned
Seeing humour
Slowly yearned
Then she laughed
And slowly spurned
You are sure you
Want to learn
I nodded
Heart between my teeth
This is the number
No repeat
That is the number that I dialled
Put the one in front, she smiled

Thanks Wintertao

I had forgotten about this one buried in my poems filed folder until I read yours but I was worried you would think I was competing.
