Irregarding Pulchritude

maybe they turned me away for
a girl who ate on dates—
or
maybe they turned me away for
a girl who screamed in bed

maybe they turned me away for
a girl who openly expressed
how she felt about your
purple shirt and mint jacket
or

maybe they turned me away for
a girl who verbally assaulted your
liberal views
or

maybe they turned me away for
a girl
who
always ran when you called
or

one who let you buy her lingerie
or
maybe for a girl
who said i love you
back.
