Cute

I saw her in the train station
Outside of Prague

Elated; much to my American surprise
She smiled and I smiled back
Oh my what remarkable teeth

Her significant shadowed other clubbed me
Aside my head with a pipe
Broke my jaw
And then roughed me up; stole my things and wallet
not that I was aware

I woke up the next morning
In a foreign hospital

Damaged, much to my American surprise
Not knowing where I was
I looked around and thought

Man
she was cute
As cute as a cobra
