Those Two Couples at the Next Table Over

Cursory smiles and generous giggles
Extend the time.
It’s enough to look up
And prick my finger with the dispassion.

I stretch out the sensation of that touch like fresh hard pizza dough,
But the bombastic voices call last call, and call it again, and again;
Should I shrug or or should I chug?
First I want to drip these tears into a souvenir glass.
