First Dates

First Dates

I dress
Modest
As if not
To give away
Myself

But I come
Off
Complete
Whole
No strings
No frays
Clean shaven

Dinner
Drinks
Appetizers
Conversation
Paid for
By good looks
And hopes

And not the
Hopes
Of sleeping
Although
Both
Sexes
Wish upon

And numbers
Swapped
That blonde hair
I guess
I guess
That's why
I can't
Get
Her out

Sadly
Courtesy texts
Rather
Smiley faces
Explaining
Tardiness

Only to
Follow the
Rule
Two texts
And no replies
Signaling
The end
Of
That
That first date
