About Last night

Yesterday, I went to a club/bar to dance

There were boys, no matter how studiously I avoided eye contact

They said words like exotic, beautiful, cute and pretty

Those words and their attempts to chat me up

Left me cold

I know that I am beautiful, cute and pretty; exotic washed clean from memory

The words mostly reminded me that there was no more space within

To fill with empty compliments from boys
