I. Wanted, Single F: Under 33
We were exchanging glances on a Brooklyn-bound F train
(late Friday night, March 23.)
You didn’t look happy, neither did I
I try as hard as I can not to
look at you, but I can’t help myself.
We locked eyes but I looked away twice
I never got your name,
Your voice, it sounded kind
I just wish you felt the same way
I hope that you like me
(I hope that you like me.)
II. Mrs. Destiny, or: Reply to Single M
My name is Caroline
Cell phone number here
Call if you have the time
28 and bored
Grieving over loss
Sorry to be heavy,
but heavy is the cost
(Heavy is the cost)
I was getting up the nerve to say something to you
but then you had to leave.
I remembered you and your name
You saw me at where I live,
caught me in a bad day.
You were carrying something,
hope all is okay.
(Hope all is okay.)
III. Sunday Mornings R 4 Dreamers (W4M – Only in my Dreams, New York)
How will I know
If this strange enigma will continue?
Will you send me a signal?
What more can I do?
I’ve reached a comfortable plateau
I don’t want to think about it anymore
Still hope to meet you there…somewhere.
IV. A Dare (W4M – New York, New York)
Face it: I am the most adorable creature you have ever been in contact with and you would be crazy not to turn your life upside down and marry me.
Maybe this is not just because you are lonely; have you considered that maybe it is me?
Is it you or me?
Is it you or me?
V. To the Girls of Hunter College
You gorgeous ladies break my heart.
