The diet

Neckline

Suggests that this might be 
a
D-A-T-E.

She is small
In the chest
But fair.

His eyes locked
in hers
and away 
from her breasts
only makes me
that much surer
that it is.
A date, that is.

Him

Hanging on to every word
She hasn't said
Because he doesn't want
To be caught staring at

Neckline

She's pretty
Blonde
Pretty blonde.

He is pleasantly plump
And hairy
In the face.

Dating
favors a currency
traded in attention
We wield it 
to our will
Handing it out
holding it back.

She's eating
carbs and calories
In a damnyouall
Demonstration
Of free will
Drinking beer

But I see the 
wrinkles on
her face
And I know
she's starving herself
elsewhere.
