He’s so handsome
his coffee isn’t going cold.
He’s so handsome
his laptop is letting him win at chess.
He’s so handsome
his table keeps whispering “thank you”
to his elbows for choosing it to rest on.
He’s so handsome
he doesn’t feel the need to look at me
when I ask him if he wouldn’t mind
moving his chair off my coat.
