wrap around your soul

and here comes the 

raven haired goddess 

with a streak of purple 

pointing down to these 

never ending legs

the type of legs you'd 

like to wrap around 

your soul twice

i stop to check my 

grocery list hoping 

to get a better look

i find her again in  

another aisle

i slowly go past her 

hoping to catch a  

whiff of something  

exotic

she doesn't notice me

not even a dirty look 

or a fuck off

i've read all these  

stories about people  

meeting in grocery  

stores

more bullshit from  

the beautiful people  

i guess
