Giving compliments to strangers

On the way to work
I often lurk
at a streetcorner shadow in the rain.

As my victim approaches
the feeling encroaches
and spreads across my face once again.

I like what I see
and know it could be
a glimpse of my new fashion rival.

So I dart from position
and make it a mission
to compliment a pretty thing on arrival.

The flash of horror-
when I ask from which store-
I might find such a clever piece of cuteness...

Is a humourous twist
on the chance that I missed
to compliment a complete stranger's astuteness.
