Every guy is waiting for her

The one they love before they’ve met

Every woman knows it, too

That diiferent man, they can’t forget

Primordial sexual archetypes

Imprint on transfer RNA

That chemical composite list

Forms molecular display

Of who’s that person we’ll let in

Or gaze a second glance

The manly guy she’ll let cut in

From the one without a chance

And then there’s romance of the nose

Epithelials in charge

Some just know and not suppose

Need I more enlarge?

Perfume makers have it right

To market subtrafuge

For any girl, on any night

Must act when stakes are huge

It’s not just getting past the greet

And into conversation

That can easily all be rigged

By approprite libation.

But discerning guys will keep an eye

For the maid most natural

Eschewing paint, and florid musk

For some more transparent pull

Is she real, and is she kind?

Is she truly beautiful?

And any guy who isn’t blind

Can discern her wonderful.

Every heart needs some wonderful

And knows when ache grows strong

We were born apart, but to heal the heart

We must be loved to right that wrong.

Poems tattle as poets prattle
About hearts left black and blue
But beyond the rhyme of this rattled line
Is there some wonderful  . . . that's you?
