There was this dame
at the checkout yesterday
Henry said
blonde hair greying
oval face
and black-framed glasses
and those kind of eyes
that pop out at you
in the dark
and?
I said
and she smiled
the kind of smile
that said I don't smile
that often these days
then what?
I said
then I smiled too
the kind of smile that said
I know what you mean
I don't much either
then what?
I said
then she packed her
purchases away in her bags
and paid the cashier
some young girl
with diaper marks
still on her ***
so?
I said
so she walked past me
giving that look that said
I get lonely at times
maybe pop around
and see me some time
and her *** kind of swayed
in these pale blue pants
and then what?
I said
I looked at her and said
give me a ring
on your lonely nights
how did she get your number?
I said
o
Henry said
I passed it to her
inside my lonely head.
