i was watching your mouth move in and out
in little unexpected ways
not hearing a word that you said in over twenty minutes
on occasion i grunt and give you a knowing stare
focused on what I hope is a pivotal moment
i went to the other house
i got the key from the guard and i let myself in
i knocked on the door twice and rang once
could you watch this for me until i return
all smiles and mariachi
they're playing the dating game theme
we ordered some cheese dip, a tea, and two light beers
i feel i should be talking, rather saying something
instead of nodding and eating most of the chips
my confidece is returning
i'm relating and remarking in an improved fashion
so much that i decide to stop on my way home
so much that i decide to stop for donuts on the drive home
i went to the last house on the list
i was relieved to find that my services were no longer required
they were no longer required
i was relieved to find my services no longer required
