June 7

From the second she arrives
at the store where I reside
our eyes collide
but she turns to the side
she's shy and surprised
she blushes and hides
she sneaks a peak I try
hard to stare at her eyes
"Can I get your number?"
I bumble and stutter
my heart flutters
as I mutter
I'd love to cover
her in cocoa butter
like a comforting butler
payed more than others
and as she leaves
she sneaks a peak
she reads as she eats
under heat of x-ray beams
but my mission
is accomplished
She promised
her digits.

(P.S.) Notice the change in rhyme pattern at the end of the poem for uncertain closure. 8-8-4-4. and I accentuate this effect with the change up in the final 4 bar stanza. If you are thinking in 'aaaa' rhmye scheme mentality, the final four represents 'deed'.
