Virtuous (2021)
May 14, 2021
Dearest,
Do you remember
When I first asked you out?
And you said: “No.” But, then you said: “wait.”
And instead of shooting me down for real
you wanted to know
what I had planned.
You slid your Ray Bans down your nose with your index finger.
And asked in your sly Bronx, New York accent:
“So, what did choo want to doo?”
I told you that we could go eat a bagel,
visualize some art,
And possibly
take a walk
down
to the
Brooklyn Bridge…
And, if you digged me then…
Then, we could probably…
“Wait!” You exclaimed.
You told me we could “wait” and…
never said anything after that.
