today

i've been waiting patiently for weeks, every saturday morning. finally, today you show up wearing no wedding ring. i don't need a backstory.
why yes, you can have my number, take a number, get in line, here's my card. you are #2 in the downstairs break rotation.
i take you to my car. we smoke. we connect. we talk about all the most important things, like wine, and meditating with your eyes open. and then...
you take off your sunglasses. blue eyes? blue eyes! you didn't tell me you have VIBRANT blue eyes!?
i was hoping for brown, or hazel, or green, or honey...or something like that.
