Flirting is like when I used to teach
Lessons at a music studio and served as secretary. Filing papers with only the sound of cheap fluorescent light bulbs. Everything is cool, calm, collected… Until they walk in. I look up, and they’re standing there with shining guitars, miniature violins, Crumpled sheet music from last week’s lesson. Too many people and thoughts pile in. Shuffling around in a panic, searching for the right-- Paperwork. Sitting there, staring back, silence. Last name, phone number? I search my mind for the pre-written words All while recalling all of the voicemails left by prospective Customers. I forgot to call them back. So, when’s most convenient for you, sir?
