Take this advice
from an old one who has sat around
this world for quite some time
and in that time
has learned a few small things.
Beware:
if you talk to the hot girl
you must listen to the hot girl.
You will have to hear her tales of woe
how no one looks her in the eye
but stares willingly at her large breasts
her long legs
her pleasing smile
and yes, admittedly
sometimes at her green-flecked blue eyes,
but only to objectify,
never with respect.
You will be required
to nod and ask probing questions
about ways
in which the ugly world doesn’t understand her,
how everyone
of all spectra of genders
are simply on the make
seeking something from the hot girl
like sex
or approval
or delightful arm candy.
You will be involved
in many detailed conversations
about keeping fit
and primed
and ready to remain
well-viewed
by a cruel planet
but also
how hard it is
to be remain well-viewed
by said cruel planet
and how she wishes it were different.
Trust the words of one who knows:
when you engage
with the beautiful,
it is no simple contract.
If you wish to maintain your connection
you must be respectful
and involved
and treat her
like any other sort of citizen
before they bore of you
and fly away
lighting upon another ogre
with whom to keep company
until another of their species
comes back around.
