out of my league

I went with her to Denver
Blond, elegant, an hourglass body and a face of European nobility
We are flirting
But my arm is over her shoulders
And we are having a good time
Laughing
She is out of my league
She likes a mans man
Someone who doesn’t talk about their feelings
Or write poetry
Someone who can take control, dominate, protect
And im just not him
I can joke, talk, reassure
So im not even on the ballot
But it helps
The tension is gone
Im a novice so im not even thinking of taking the expert route
So I can just be me
And do whatever the hell I please
***** I can be he biggest fool I want with no apprehension of the possible consequences
And we are best friends, I wouldn’t want it any other way
Just companions compadres comrades
But my arm is around her
And she is giggling
So in the back of my mind I ask is she really out of my league
I went with her to a country dance club
Pail skin dark eyes long legs
Her lips wrapped around a camel menthol
Bangs draped symmetrically half an inch above her brow
Hair up in a bun pink denim short-shorts
A torn t-shirt that reads wasted youth
Shes flirting with me
I know its all in fun
Because she is out of my league
I mean out of the and through the windshield of a car in the parking lot out of my league
I mean hemmingways depiction of an old man versus a thousand pound marlin
I mean feather weight versus heavyweight
I mean im a paraplegic with upper body strength and she is 1500 vertical ft. of pure granite
But it helps
The tension is gone
Im a novice so im not even thinking of taking the expert route
So I can just be me
And do whatever the hell I please
I can be he biggest fool I want with no apprehension of the possible consequences
But she is flirting with me
I know its all friendly
But in the back of my mind I ask is she out of my league?
The moral of the story is
No matter how I hard I think
No matter how hard I try
I still don’t think anyone is out of my league, even if I am just a regular guy
