Mike's cousin Beth

he introduced me to his cousin,
Beth,
and said we'd get
along perfectly fine.
a blind date
to go see the movie,
Five Easy Pieces
at the Cerberus 9 in Georgetown.
it was okay,
until she took my
hand in the dark
theater, the hand that she'd
been coughing into
since the previews began.
she then leaned over
to put her hand into my tub
of buttered popcorn,
before stealing a kiss.
i had the flu for a week.
