And He Dates Too

Being an old school

Dating has been a thing bizarre

Like a hydrophobic to cross the English channel

For a decade he did save from this fad

Until he met her while kind of parenting

Texts followed

Voice calls overtook

Meeting happened

No dating like thing

Just meeting

Yeah! Just meeting

Very formal

Catch-ups at home

Made things more homely than homes

But no serious dating like thing

Just catch-ups

Yeah! Just catch-ups

He wonders

She must have thought of dates

That the man so fool never let happen

Let me tell you

He’s not so easy to be deciphered

He dates too

Days n nights

Hundreds of miles away from her

He dates her in his mind

He dates her in myriad ways

More romantic than Donne and Marvell could ever write about

The natural sights where he takes her to

Are more natural and sublime than Wordsworthian sketches

He dates

His dating is longer than the accidental sleep

Of Seven sleepers

He dates her in his mind

His dates are eternal
