POEM WHILE RUNNING AWAY

I know you�ve had four hours sleep, and I know you�ve got better things to do, and I know that you need time not to think, and I know you�re really really busy...

And I know you don�t know my full name, and I know you couldn�t care less about it. I know you�ve got a boyfriend in every major city, and I know all these thoughts must make you nauseous.

And... and I know I�m too short, and I know I�m not successful enough. And I know I�m not strong and I know I�m not sure and I know I know too little, but... would you have dinner with me?

No, wait: I know the answer.
