i do have this leaky pipe

my friend Esmeralda tells me,
confidentially mind you,
in a lean to whisper.
when i meet someone, a date,
a new person
who is of interest, i look
at them across the table,
size them up, and say to myself,
is this someone i want to make
love to, and if the answer
is no, i never see them again,
unless of course they're a 
plumber or a painter and i
need some work done.
