preventing a heartbreak (newly executed poems, 2022)

dedicated to Her

you may see her face in every fleeting passerby
turn around to make sure it was not her
she might be somewhere else or there
in every image popping up on facebook
you imagine swapping words with her in diner
under the moonlight ... with candles, romance, jeez
will it ever happen ? and if so, when so ...
will she be with you - under the boardwalk ?
as the tom tom club even vows it on air
and then you just have to take it like a man
hoping and praying, the time will wait
and when all things begin to dissipate slowly
alas, you get to realize your fate
fairy tale endings, uh-huh, uh-huh-huh
 do not ever happen in Serbia
