Shrek 2

prose poetry

One day a girl whom I did not know turned to me in class and said, “Do you know who you look like, have you seen Shrek 2?”

“A-are you about to roast me?” I asked, clinging to my desk.

She laughed and told me that I look like Shrek when he gets turned into a human. I laughed too, because I didn’t know what else to do, but I didn’t know what to make of that. So I watched the movie later and it turned out that she was trying to compliment me. I think so, anyway.

We never spoke again but I think about her a lot.
