Listen

The man of my dreams
will have headphones on the day we meet the first time
I'll watch him from across a room or train or someplace on the street in New York City
my eyes will follow his head-tossing to the music,
his smiling to the lyrics
and when he finally sees me,
he'll nod
and before I conjure up the courage to nod back
he'll make his way towards me and ask if I want to listen too
because music is the best way to connect
