Crushed Velvet

I saw you
come
in.

You saw
a few other
enlisted men
swarming around
me.

They were as annoying
as yellowjackets on
a september afternoon.

I looked around the corner
when you gave the dj your jacket
It seemed you pretended not to see.

You let me bounce off the wall
All by myself
For quite a while.
Maybe just until
You noticed the soldier
In front of me
Was about to
Turn around.

As you claimed me
Soldier's buddy said
Man
You waited too long.
