Would I, could I, should I
Seems like I should
But then again, maybe I shouldn’t
Time and tide, here I sit
If she looks good, what’m I missing
And if she don’t, maybe maybe what
A squint, a stare, a sideways glance
But first a search on Google or LinkedIn
To call or not, to speak or not
No, now it’s to swipe, left or right is how
So we flicker past each other
Glittering arrays of possibilities

I'm a little 'long in the tooth' and bald in the head for the dating scene. This poem started with the first line, then the first stanza and then I laughed and cranked out the rest. That's usually how I write these poems here. A word, a line, a riff... see how far I can run with it, have fun with it. Then let it go and see where it runs with me, has fun with me.
