cupid's first arrow

i see the young
man
in the grocery store
picking out
a small bundle
of flowers,
counting his money.
maybe it's his first
time.
he's carrying a Hallmark
card
and a small
gift in his hand.
he's just getting
started.
infatuated with 
someone, trying
to win her hand.
i nod and walk by,
saying nothing.
