First Date

I realized after burning
a triple digit hole in my wallet
that all I need to know about her
is that she only likes
to sing silly little pop songs.
I can do the same things,
but rhetoric starts to run thin
when the music stops.
I don't want to
jump up and down mindlessly
to rhythms that don't inspire.
Give me something with a
slower and sophisticated tempo,
something that makes two people
draw closer and sway as one
and in the end,
it's probably a hell of a lot cheaper
to do as well.
