The lady in charge of the cooking class
complimented me in broken English
Smiling, with my hair pulled back,
she stared for a second and said
I looked like Angelina Jolie
When we went to the market the next night,
I helped you pick out a dress for your mother
After purchasing it, you asked the vendor
if I was pretty
She said yes, and I blushed in the heat
as you looked down into my eyes as if I could be
At the airport, you compared me to an American actress
studied my face and concluded
I looked "kind of like Megan Fox"
I joked and responded with “only if I wore some makeup”
