The drunken bum on the bus said,
“You’re cute as a bug’s butt!”
Which obscured more than it clarified:
Just how cute is a bug’s butt?
A mother at my brother’s cross country meet
Snagged me: “You have beautiful hair,”
Which just confirmed what I already suspected.
Some compliments aren’t only verbal,
Such as the wry look my band director gave
After my senior year audition, and the
Statement, “You’ve been practicing,”
Which was obvious to us both.
Or the horn-honking, arm-waving greeting
When we first saw a friend again after years,
Which made us feel like we’d come home.
