Cauliflower Dreamer

I missed my chance today for true love. At the Dodgers game. Florida won by like 6 or 7 points today. Yesterday they fuckin... Anyway.
So I finally worked up my nerve to sell cauliflower in the stands at Dodger stadium like last year. I looked to my left to avoid a backwards fall down the stairs. My neck went as far to the right as my neck would go. Funny.
And there she was. Our eyes locked. Mine fixed mostly on her hat and hers on my box of cauliflower. There was a kindred spirit there, I just knew it instantly. It just felt right.
She smiled. I quickly reached into my box and grabbed a cauliflower. In slow motion, I gestured to her regarding my imminent sale. My future? My pain? Hope against hope she parted her lips to show me a mouthful of mostly chewed up cauliflower. She already had one. She brought her own. No sale.
