Notes About The Poem

I distrust complements - especially from guys - I hate flattery
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Unwise Advances

Distrusted compliments
- screech like fingernails across
a schoolroom chalkboard.

No marked card - dealt from 
the bottom of the deck - will
ever unlock my heart.

Avoid the overt
- sly Valmont, the skittish game
is wise to advances.
