Hitch 4: Charmed
I thought, almost immediately,
you quite liked me,
and I had to like you too,
and by virtue of knowing
that I would soon be
within fifty yards of home,
I started settling into
the end of the day.
You had picked me up
no more than fifty yards
from the factory that owned my bones,
and before you left me
just as close to home,
we quietly looked each other
up and down,
I was pleased at the shape of your bones.
But while you were on your way home
to your Dad and your little boy,
I was on my way home
to a woman who loved me well.
I told you where I was going,
you nodded and smiled,
and quietly we liked each other still.
