An Elegant and Inviting Format

I think you are an elegant and inviting person

I like to have a conversation with you when we go out

I like to find exciting things to talk about with you that I never knew before

I think you have a beautiful hair cut and wonderful clothes


When I took your hand and we crossed the street to get to the other bar

I imagined you were a tiny sheep and I was another sheep on a mountain

We stared across the expansive mountains together

There was a raincloud coming but not for a while


That was a comfortable and warm feeling

I would like it if we both had animal bodies covered with fur

I would like it if we both had animal brains

We could stare at each other blankly for hours


We do have animal brains

We stare at each other blankly for hours

Sometimes, and sometimes we stare at each other purposefully

Over short glasses of drinks not knowing what to say


The faces we make have no real meaning for us

I only know what I know about myself

I don't know you in any possible way

You are as predictable as I am
