Date Gradient Variable



In the middle of the first date,
a troubling thought progression occurs:
The computer in me
calculates
success probability
of insertion of
tongue in cheek
at point zero three
Something in the conversation
has gotta change
this imminent failure trajectory
Input date gradient variable:
Nerd ... inverse chemical personality change
Buddy Love ... alter ego accessing
Cool romanticism vectoring
Body red alert!
Eye contact avoidance
creating critical mass passion implosion
Rupturing of the mellow ambient mood
will occur in 
ten nanoseconds delta wave oscillation
Dream date bubble burst will ensue
Unanticipated motor response must commence
Hip central cortex command — 
Wallflower boy get off the fence ... 
kiss that woman,
and pierce that emotional force field
erected around the heart-shaped valence
Update voluntary co-joined gradient variable:
Buddy Love is now in physical operational control

Ty, everyone for your kind and gracious comments. I was just channeling my inner Stephon Ur-kel cool alter ego. Buddy Love's little nephew. Steve Urkel ... "Family Matters." Buddy Love ... "The Nutty Professor." Two of my cathode tube favorites. Love and smiles to everyone. Romantic Warrior

Oh, Annieve and Kim, you both made me chuckle hardy this morning w/your delightful and insightful comments. I was in a playful mood early this morning ... and I challenged myself to write a poem about a nerdy guy on a first date that appears to him to be flaming out. So, he thinks like a scientist, and this is how he sees the date going. Lol. Love and smiles always.

Love this Freddie! I caught the Buddy Love reference! Too cute...the scientist using the numbers to see how well the date is going. Blessings, my friend!
