I hung out, just for a while
She was in a small group
I just showed up, no biggie
Informal, in pj's, she made tea
I wondered what she'd say
Was I intruding maybe?
But she introduced me
Like an art scene celebrity
"Do you know Trixsie?"
"You simply must know Trixsie"
"She's a genius, SO amazing!"
Unexpected lyrically waxing
But she continued to gush
If I'd had time I'd have been shy
But before I could say shucks
She said the words:
"I am so glad that you are part of my life!"
And my poor, tired heart
Beat like the dawn, an epoch's start
My chest on fire I surrendered the past
