blind date
I hadn’t shaved in a few days
but at least I showered
I keep telling myself I’m doing
so much better since
they talked me down
and now here I am
a few days later going on
a blind date
smelling somewhat delicious
and sporting a three day beard
as I wait looking out the front window
I keep asking myself
what the hell am I supposed
to talk about
january two thousand twenty
