Thank you for the date.
It was very
very pleasant.
You were polite
and friendly
and didn’t order anything outrageous
and you smelled nice, too,

You kept your more ridiculous opinions
to yourself
and didn’t challenge
my most ridiculous opinions.
You barely snorted when I talked about Flat Earth Economics
so thank you for that, too.

I don’t think there were that many awkward pauses,
do you?
…
Other than this one, apparently.
Ha ha.
It was
it was all right,
don’t you think?

Yes?
Excellent.
Then, maybe,
perhaps
you will consider doing it again?
What do you think?

No?
Oh
thank God.
