A Real Beauty


Sitting on the grocery store 
Parking lot and not expecting anything exceptional to happen 
I do this so much while looking 
At my phone 

And I see her, a real beauty walking,

Young cute face, long model-like legs 

I work in a large building with many women 

And she's easily more beautiful than them all

It's always unusual to see a pretty woman walking, they so many options, someone will always give them a ride

Whatever I was thinking about is not even a memory

But…

When is she getting out of the store I wonder 

Should I offer her a ride?

She comes back and she's staring at me the way a panhandler would stare at me, so she's friendly 

Greet me and greet her back, putting on the charm

She says, “ I look like the guy from the movie House Party.”

Oh yeah, i get aroused even more

I get her name, and she gets mine. I could use a friend 

She's carrying frozen packages of meat chicken steak roast as if she stole it

She's on a mission and wants me give her a ride to a local motel known hookers and drug dealing 

I tell her I can't go there 

Something bad can and will usually happen, along with the cops watching the hotel.

If I was ten years younger maybe I 

Would have 

But not now

This safe middle aged man, I am now


I go back to looking at phone,

And she walks away, heading towards the hotel

Away from me and my desire
