0055HRS MAY 23RD 2007

I can't sleep.

I kept on thinking

of that night.

When a virtual stranger,

almost barged into my life.

She is pretty,

maybe with a few extra pounds,

but at her lanky height,

she carries them off

not too badly.

We've been introduced before,

I know of her as a single mum,

who is recently available again.

She knows,

so am I.

Very charming,

in a breezy sort of way,

I admit,

I was somewhat aroused

when she got a little

touchy feely.

Later that night,

she invited herself

to my place,

for drinks.

The silent come hither

was loud and deafening,

the good night kiss

wasn't exactly a friendly hug.

In my intoxicated haze,

I heard the words

of that old movie Forrest Gump,

"Run Forrest Run!!!"

Yeah, I ran.

Like that mentally retarded.

Look at me,

I know I am not

exactly someone

who can make a woman

wet her pants

for a one night stand.

Seems more like

she came with

a business plan.

I could have played

her game,

but I know

I am no player.

If anything,

I'd fall hopelessly in love

feeling so thankful

and appreciative

of being accepted

by her,

the very morning after.

She must have thought of me

as an easy target.

And later,

I found out,

that she done this

seduction act before,

in search of

her (and her son's) meal ticket

and car installment.

Suddenly,

I felt so alone again,

almost scared.

They always tell me

the ocean is full of fishes,

they forgot to tell me

its full of barracudas too.
