Zesty Italian/ My Brown Eyed Girl - 5



She entered
Back into the dish station
And asked me,
Can you handle all of this?
Back here by yourself.
I could only reply
With he’ll yeah.
So I asked her
Do you even like the color Blue?
Boy did she look pissed off,
And said no.
So I asked
What your favorite color
And she said to pink,
I like pink
As she walked over
To her at the locker,
She pulled a coffee mug
Out of her locker;
It was the color pink.
The woman really
Made me think about
What has really happened?
Over the past few years
That I wasn’t a part of.
But
It was break through;
I found out what she liked.
