Wendy, the Lady Who Lives Next to the Matchmaker

5.24.21

I wonder why she’s never offered –
never tried to solicit my business.

Or

Why hasn’t she matched one of
her clients with me?

I’ve seen her match a pauper
with the queen
and a maid with a far off hero
whom she had never met
and whose name she never knew
to forget.

We’ve talked, of course,
I am her neighbor.

She’s never claimed her matches
are forever,
you know?

I would say no, anyways.
	I’m too busy for all that.
