imperfections

The office was intimidating
On the upper floor of the skyscraper.
The attractive woman conducting 
my interview was dressed for success.

She entered into her pitch
We pride ourselves here as a
Prospective marriage broker
Not a common dating service
Our fees reflect this.
Only the most upwardly mobile
People geared for success are accepted.
Our computer programs will match you
With your perfect partner.
Compatible in every way.
Perfect she reiterated. 

Would you like to become a member
She asked.

Reflecting for a moment 
I declined.
Surprised she asked 
If I could tell her why.
I responded.
Well! I would be afraid 
That in searching so hard
For my perfect match
You may miss the imperfect 
one that would 
make me so very happy. .
