To The Girl Whom I Just Asked out to Dinner and Who Just Shook Her Head, Saying She Didn’t Think it was a Good Idea

You don’t know me very well
So I hope you’ll reconsider your decision.
You just don’t know enough
– yet –
to make an informed choice.

I’m a very interesting person
and, if you knew it
– knew me –
I think you’d realize
how interesting it would be
for we
to be
together.

I’m a poet.
Did you know it?
I’m no pro. It
would disservice the art, you get me?
But I believe in my art
as I believe
you and me
could be
pleased
together.

I’m a man
and you’re a woman
– as far as I can tell –
and our parts
are appropriately complimentary.
I am kind to my pets
and cry
profusely
whenever I have to put them to sleep.
I would not put you to sleep
with boring stories
if we
would be
together.

I know I said this before
but I really am interesting
and would entertain you
with the all the tales
of the people in my neighborhood
who I know
and follow.
I know you don’t know much about me
but I already know so much about you
and would really appreciate it
if you rethink,
drink me in
and consider
how blessed we could be
should we
be together.
