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 confidence 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

Went to the last house on the list

I was relieved to find my services no longer required

They were no longer required

I was relieved to find my services no longer required
