On a dark street
I faintly saw a horse rider
A face, round and big
Like that of the northeastern neighbor
What was so weird was that
The face faced backward
It got close and dismounted
An ugly woman I found
Her head was like a cartoon rabbit or dog
With protruding big jaw
She said her boyfriend had dumped her
And she wanted to date me
I was so scared
But did I have a choice?
Ugly as she was
She came to me

When choices are limited one takes what one can and I heard that wearing a mask on the back of one's head avoids tiger attacks. A good read.
Well written. Your poem revolves around fear and the unexpected nature of attraction. It seems to explore how societal perceptions of beauty can influence our reactions to others and the uncomfortable situations that arise from unexpected advances.
Thanks
