(Not) Nice To Meet You

(edited)

he's like:
"Hey,
nice to meet you."

i turn to look him
up and down-

he asks,
"How are you?"

"i'm good."
I shiver a bit,
but to not seem rude,
i ask,
"How about you?"

he says,
"Great!
my day's been great.
I got my paycheck,
lemme take you out if you would."

"no-!
I mean, that's just random.
i don't even know your name,
Not saying I could."

he takes a step forward,
"Maybe you should."

i take a step backward,
"I got a brother from the hood."

"And, you're telling me this because?"

"You seem to be a lost cause."

"I just see a girl that I like.
if you don't,
Then, this opportunity will be missed."

"Okay, arrogant much?
i don't think you're getting the jist."

Shaking his head,
he finally leaves,
Mumbling about girls being cheap.

So, just because I don't
want him i'm cheap?
I lift a hand and wave, shouting
"bye, creep!"
