Flea market
She asked me If i was married
I told her " no"
She liked my t-shirt
" JESUS IS MY HOMEBOY "
She looked like
She had her act together
She graduated from Central High, 1984
I graduated from Istrouma, 1985
We never ran into each other in town
She told me baton rouge
Had changed alot while i was gone
It got more diverse
But i kept thinking
About the first words she spoke to me:
She didn't ask me what i wanted to buy
She asked me
" Are you married ?"
Yesterday, I told Mama
" if I wasn't married 10 years ago
What makes you think
I'd do it now?"
I love bachelorhood too much
But i hedge my bets
By telling mama
" If it happens, it happens..."
