First date…

he did say
that he wanted to take her
someplace no one else had ever taken her
she thought he meant
a new restaurant
or place to dance
but she should have known better
he wasn’t like other men
his bad boy
was a bit more creative
and when they got onto the plane
and
Sinatra
started singing
FLY ME TO THE MOON
she should have guessed
what he was up to
they stayed outside
moving through space
weightless
and drifting
until she
just wanted her feet
to touch something solid
after that
the evening was filled
with starlight
and magic
not a bad
first date
she thought
not bad
at all
