hey, o beauty..!
I stared at a coffeeshop waitstaff goddess
hey, sunshine;
she cut up slicedpies and I
wanted more--
lifted a cup; grand gesture,
th'ocean of her breast swept me to sea,
one breath and I drown--
spilled my heartsoul on the floor
hey, love,
mop me up,
hey..;
brushed back a notepad of red leather--
she's oh-too-busy sorting dreams
her dream
of leaving
everything
I'd take her
but I
see her eyeing rough-hungry boys,
no backwards glance
for the almond-eye'd female who's
me

I chose the sweet option with the word list, that is ONE.
