You were a prudent businesswoman
I was a marginal street kid
Furtively I took a brief, hurried peep at you
Like a sly animal
Stealing glances
Little did you know,
I spent my evening
Contemplating your ambiguous eyes
I thought
Maybe your eyes saw
Some inexplicable potential
In mine
Until that very next day
When, by chance
We unexpectedly met again
And you just
Looked away
