glass half full

she tells me she's a glass
half full
kind of person.
perky and personable.
a sixty year
old cheerleader without
the pom poms
and pleated skirt.
what about you, she asks,
smiling so
brightly that my retinas
start to burn
and go out of focus.
are you a half glass full
kind of guy too?
no, i tell her. i prefer to drink
straight from the bottle.
