NO CHANCE

NO CHANCE
I am giving up on finding a woman
again
I had mustered up
a little tinkle of hope
a tiny flame
held my hands around it
to let it grow
but it merely flickered three times
then blew out
far too much of my time
is spent thinking about women
some in particular
one especially
and others just generally
I’d be much better off
thinking about shooting stars
or four leaf clovers
or friendly three legged dogs
because at least those things exist
