i hate dating
it's boring
and a waste of time

dinner at the second best restaurant in town
because you don't want to seem too pretentious
you in that shirt because some other woman
once told you it brings out the color of your eyes
me in a cloak of subdued feminine wiles
carefully tailored to accentuate my bright smile and sunny demeanor

i compose my face so that is says "interesting"
while my mind yawns with the tediousness of it all
and i think
why don't we just cut to the chase
and fuck
because we both know
the end result of that
has to be interesting enough
to put up with more of this
