Analysis of Zesty Italian/ My Brown Eyed Girl - 2
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
My second encounter
With this mystery woman
Was a little different.
I was out back
Smoking a cigarette
With another Coworker
And she walked up
And said.
I just wanted
To meet you
Before she brought you home
I was puzzled,
Like what do you mean by that?
But
That’s all she had said to me,
And we left it at that.
I finished my smoke,
And went back inside
And back to work.
She was on my mind;
She was getting in my head.
It made me smile,
And I said to myself
I see your game

About this poem
Inspired by my encounter with a young woman I would work with at The British Open Pub in Venice Florida in 2019. It was all about chance encounters, and it helped lift my spirits during my journey, and to always be remembered…
