<\/font>This is my attempt at transforming a personal advertisement into poetry.  I found this one on page 132 of the Matches section in the Washington City Paper.  My selection number is 901122; it was titled Green Jacket at Mercury Grill.<\/em>   You were wearing a green jacket and talking to a female friend.  We smiled and kept smiling long after I passed you.  I wore a red collared shirt and a grey sweater, and was with a friend and her dog.  I came back later and we smiled some more but you were talking to a drag queen.  I finally got a drink as an excuse to meet you but you took off with your friend as we smiled one last time.  I’m ready to say hello.  I hope you will say the same.  <\/font><\/p>\n
