I gaze across the aisle, Hoping only for a smile; Her face, alight, A comedy, divine; Bracelets, silver, Gently collide. Silk soft, She coughs, And then she sighs, Licks lips un-dry... Casual curls, dis- Arrayed perfection-- Was that a glance In my direction? She's caught my eying, Her gaze deep brine, A plainly painted sign: Sharks infest these waters, Swimmers beware.
