Excitement Can Cause Love Blindness
A week ago when snow fell for hours,
heavy snowflakes resembled butterflies
descending on scented flowers,
and they fell on that stranger's smooth face
without bothering of wiping them off;
was she chased by an obsessed dwarf?
I got a step closer to say, " Hello, beautiful! "
But she hopped into a green cab dropping her phone;
how often does a guy meet a girl that congenial,
a girl who would smile...if she were in love with that one?
I ran across York Avenue* to pick up that phone,
it resembled a shattered crystal;
someone screamed, "She is a model! "
Had I been that lucky...I would have taken her on a cruise trip;
and with no name to search for, whom would I have asked for help?
I noted on the frosty window of Hair Care Unisex Salon an ad about Agony Aunt,
" A therapist who fixes broken hearts by restoring their hope. "
But searching for people's names who weren't posted on Facebook
would have been an impossible task, and staring me in the eye as a stranded cat,
she said, " Excitement can cause love blindness,
any naive guy can mistake it for tenderness! "
