mildly unattractive man
with a personal hygiene problem
clearing a space on the crowded train
with his boiling egg pants smile
struggling to convince himself that
existence is not a string of disappointment
when all the available evidence
is pointing the other way
making the best of what she has
it's so easy to make men want you
harder to find ones worth the waste of time
with all the extra, all their needs
maybe it won't be long now till something better
something bearable appears
maybe not
