Elder love asks questions
That were not there
When I was dating in my teens.
Can you cook?
Do you like to have time
By yourself?
Would you be willing to move
For love?
All of these questions
Are delivered on the phone
Or on-line.
Shouldn’t it be easier
The second time around?
I have decades of experience.
I am no beginner.
Yet I feel apprehensive and sublime
All at the same time;
As I ponder meeting someone.
Will he be more than
I have hoped for?
Or worse, less
Than I need?
“Risk with a purpose”, I say,
“Make good choices.”
I am still Alive.
