black star from goodnight, moon by fuvk

she showed up hours late to the bar
where we were meant to have our first date
i saw her park her car and when she walked up
i asked her "why'd you make me wait"
she said "oh, i live far and i got lost on the way,
took a wrong turn, circled back
but you know, that's just how it is today"
we sat down in the back at a picnic table
dimly lit by string lights at a quarter past eight

pleasantries, "how was your day"
"how do you pronounce your name"
"have you ever left this state"
she said "why won't you look me in the eye?
why can't you sit still?"
man, i need a refill

jaded and demoralized, i had tried to expedite
the process of getting to know you
and as you let me in, i felt high
but couldn't understand what i was to you
