The Encounter
The lone sport star has just had a meeting
With a girl fan of his. There was something
Different about this girl. She was not
Like most of his fans, but he can't quite place
It. Perhaps it was in her reserved joy
On meeting him. Most people would have been
In hysterics by that point. She'd not been
Like that. But more reserved in the meeting,
It was clear to him she was so much joy.
Asked him for his autograph or something,
She certainly kept herself to her place,
Give her his autograph? How could he not?
It was evident to him she was not
Like most. Made no display of having been
Infatuated nor made it her place
To give him her number upon meeting
Him. She made no effort to give something
That he can call her by. She was much joy,
It was what was most evident - her joy.
Yet she didn't appear to like him not,
An under-reaction. It was something
He couldn't quite place. Was he a has-been?
Why'd she not want to know upon meeting
Him? It seemed she sure put him in his place.
She did not even ask him of his place,
Don't she know he lives in a mansion? Joy
Does not even compare to that. Meeting
Her was an under-reaction he'd not
Expect from most fans. Yet he knows she'd been
Half his age, or maybe she was something
Young. Was he too old for her or something?
Why was he the one feeling out of place?
He wants to see her again, she'll have been
So happy. So different from the joy
He's used to. Whether she was game or not,
He had to arrange another meeting.
There was something great about this meeting.
She'd put him in his place - something that's not
Happened in some time. She was such a joy.
