Zesty Italian/ My Brown Eyed Girl - 3
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
My third encounter
With this mystery woman
She walked into work
Wearing a Blue, and Black Flannel
With black jeans.
It was like
She was sending me a message
As she mean mugged me.
She brushed her nose
Making the gesture to me
Like I was being nosy.
Like I was prying
Into something that
Wasn’t supposed to be.
I didn’t jump into any conclusions
I waited for opportunity to strike.
The woman watched me
Like she really
Had something she wanted
To say to me.
If looks could kill
I was dead man walking,
And she was
The executioner.
She stood off to the side
Of the cook station
As I walked by
And grabbed the bus tub
As I passed back by
I almost bumped into her
She said to me.
No worries Derrick
You alright
Again she took me by surprise.
