Cruising in Bowling Alley by Tomas Catron, Poland

So this is how
You get your man nowadays

You walk along the alley
Approaching a walking stranger
Closer and closer
Until you meet halfway
Two bodies standing
Enough to make a spare

From there you count your steps --
One, two, three
Then stare back

If he also stares back
As in a perfect strike
He is yours

If he does not
You just watch him
Throw the ball
Into the lane
To roll over and over

Hitting the pins
You felt hit too
Three strikes in a row
