A Woman Avoiding Men

Her room’s door has a goddamned latch,
Wherefore people don’t her sight catch
Seldom would open to a knock,
On that her heart ‘real igneous rock… 

Of those she’d turned down I, First Batch
While I had good shirt, not a patch 
My role to speak, hers to speech block;
Her choicest move: a glance at clock;
One starts with her, one won’t sleep snatch
Like one watching a World Cup Match…

But know I when her age doubles
Pride with cursed vanity wobbles.
