Her rules of encounter were simple...
No compassion, no tenderness, and
no ridiculously shared and wasted feelings.

no letting me know if it was good; tasting
the tray of fries at the game, the chili
on the silly run down dog that was just like
any other dog. With her empty mouth
testing the air for more of everything,
except atmosphere, not electrical signs.

Not even great, the announcer willing
to talk to her through the P.A. system.
Blind, he cannot see to pay the dues
...she listens without being appreciated,
or compensated. It's like a lecture,
or a symposium.

It was her job to be unimpressed by every
action, any smile, or whatever motivation
there was(for me) to get a distance from
earlier failures ancestors and recent
boyfriends were guilty of.

Believe? Believe what? Tonight, tomorrow,
she'll be somewhere else. Now is some time
to kill, and that's okay. But again, she is
not impressed. Not ever. Kill anyone who
thinks so. Herself if she really is,
by anything.

I was surprised

because wasn't expecting much. Never seen your stuff before, but I like the thoughts and the way this is done. The ending made me create a meaning because it is so strange.

I was enjoying the read until I got to the last two stanzas where there seems to be words missing for it to make sense .... maybe a 'what' between 'from earlier'?

'Herself if she really is,

by anything.' lost me completely
