Come, come come come,
He said grinning with blindingly white teeth
Or maybe it was the sun?
Strange, being beckoned on
Worry not, I’m sorry my man
I bristled a bit at that
Hairs stood on end
I’m noone’s
She saw to that
But his kindness encouraged me on
No sweat, man
Well I’m a tad ill so that’s not quite true but
I get the point nonetheless
I have to hop over his head, sticking out from beneath the car
It not work, he explains
I nodded knowingly
He blinked, blinded by my knowing
Or maybe it was the sun?
And I continued on my way
His politeness affected me
Later, she laughs
Why are you single?
It not work, I explain
And she nodded knowingly
