Unique
This is the word for the blind date
with the great personality,
your friend will struggle to describe.
She is a like a quantum singularity
in Star Trek—impossible
to understand in the world we live.
It is certain, that James Kirk would
sleep with her, even at his advanced age.
Though, you won’t be sure
if it’s wise. She may explode
like if you’d pulled the top off
a novelty can of snakes.
The entrée will relieve this tension.
She will ignore the warning, touch
the hot plate, and melt
like the fragile snowflake
she always was.
