do i know you?

let's watch the game,
she says.
standing there in 
her football jersey
and little else.
it's coming on in five
minutes.
she sets down a plate
of sandwiches
and snacks.
then carries out a tray
of drinks.
just one more game, she
says. please, please,
don't make me beg.
i'll show you my cheerleading
dance. okay?
who are you, i ask.
do i know you? what planet
are you from?
okay, another game.
now come over here
and sit beside me 
and tell me what's your
name.
