“But there were worse things than disappointment, and I'd lived through several of them already.” R.J. Anderson, Ultraviolet
His pace was slow
as they walked in the door
He looked older
than his online persona
Is this how it is now,
she thought in horror
Dating in the post pandemic
era of corona
From proposals of marriage
to those more savage
Her adorers came
from all over the globe
Some timid and sweet,
others she'd ravage
But for this one
there would be no disrobe
Her fingernails were
painted red ombre
Subtle traces of
her tormented past
Ripping out hearts
of all those hombres
Disappointment lurked
but easily forecast
The conversation flowed
for an hour or two
He didn't notice her
hopes that were dashed
They'd both driven far,
and she wasn't rude
To her it was clear,
this just wasn't a match
She said sorry, not feeling it,
thanks and goodbye
He looked astounded
and surprised
Disappointment clear
and present in his eyes
Better luck next time,
her plans revised
