She is like no other, always in her necktie. I knew her before the necktie, before many the body manipulations, but not all. I'd stare, engrossingly, at elongated lobes, the wardrobe. I, now, her technophobe, longing to digital age do her. "It's complicated," we call it. How I long to stand next to her at the bus stop, like we used to do. Waiting, staring, baiting, glaring, like we used to do, at Fillmore and Haight, while we'd wait. Didn't care if my bus came and left, sometimes I'd just wait for hers, to follow her aboard. I think she liked the way I stalked her. Me in my blah corporate attire and necktie, her in her outlandishly wonderful. Going to work   those days were keen broad bean, where we'd   convene, sometimes out on the scene, or where folks ought not be seen. And we'd just look, for long periods. If we spoke, it was  egg white polite. But that was then and this is now and now we chat all naughty fun. I call her my baby, my honey-bun, my long distance impassioned one. Virtual realities do often please, something I like about the tease. If ever again together, I'll be on my knees. She's my fiancée and we plan to tie the knot. Guess I'll be tattooing a matching necktie.

Tattoo Necktie
She is like no other, always in her necktie. I knew her before the necktie, before many the body manipulations, but not all. I'd stare, engrossingly, at elongated lobes, the wardrobe. I, now, her technophobe, longing to digital age do her. "It's complicated," we call it. How I long to stand next to her at the bus stop, like we used to do. Waiting, staring, baiting, glaring, like we used to do, at Fillmore and Haight, while we'd wait. Didn't care if my bus came and left, sometimes I'd just wait for hers, to follow her aboard. I think she liked the way I stalked her. Me in my blah corporate attire and necktie, her in her outlandishly wonderful. Going to work   those days were keen broad bean, where we'd   convene, sometimes out on the scene, or where folks ought not be seen. And we'd just look, for long periods. If we spoke, it was  egg white polite. But that was then and this is now and now we chat all naughty fun. I call her my baby, my honey-bun, my long distance impassioned one. Virtual realities do often please, something I like about the tease. If ever again together, I'll be on my knees. She's my fiancée and we plan to tie the knot. Guess I'll be tattooing a matching necktie.
I popped the question, online. She said, "Yas!"
