Background: In July, 2015, a dating site held a contest: Send Five Words To Mariah (Carey) for a chance to see her “live” in Vegas. I, of course, wrote something brilliant … but forgot to send it in on time.

We’re hopeful, not hopeless, romantics.
She stared and smiled at/
me, eyes gleaming, thrilled to meet,/
until I stood up.
She craves attention.
Write, call, text, ask her out, woo.
It’s still not enough.
If I went away,/
I doubt I’d even be missed./
There’s plenty of fish.
