A Thousand Worried Girlfriends

I sank into the sidewalk, it yielded no complaint,
You went into my trousers, subtle girl you ain’t
You told me you liked drama, so without a plate
I ate, calamari fried with ginger: 
and asked you for a date.

Sometimes the night just catches me out,
Like a thousand worried girlfriends.
