Trying to Fall in Love

 

I am sweet on a waitress here, but she’s half my age

and hard fluid, at least in the context of the restaurant –

(Something Bernice rarely was – too depressed to express

any form of bitchiness – more evil, less resilience)…

 

I’ve seen her shoot some children down – may be

one of those new modern women who focus on themselves,

or maybe just stressed at the moment – but

I can’t ever imagine being sharp over for unknown kids…

 

And why do I let her beauty drift me into

unsanctioned corners of unloosed regret? –

I’m perfectly happy being alone – and don’t know

how to fall in love anymore anyways…

 

This seems more a rumination on the imperfections

I’ve perfected, than as a treatise – which is positive.
