dropping hints

you meet her
in the laundry.
she drops something,
which you pick up
and hand to her.
it's silky
and black, but you
are kind
enough not to
stare at what it
is too much,
not checking
the size, or
anything like
that. oh, she says.
thank you.
the next day, she
does the same
thing, and again
until finally you
get the message
and ask her out.
she says yes.
you begin to date
and end up back
at her house. you
can hardly stop
laughing when you
see that her floor
is littered
with clothes, but
you leave them
where they are
and follow her up.
