Fish Out of Water


They all rushed in before me
as I ambled
Thinking I was early
then SHABOOM!
noise and humidity
beer and stupidity
instead of a quiet night

The seats every one of them taken
as I lingered
leaning on a door jamb
eyes agog
blatant femininity
creates an affinity
instead of lonely times

They’re at the bar in droves
as I hovered
looking for a lager
wallet out
stark spontaneity
mix with the gaiety
instead of hanging back

They all left before me
as I mumbled
thinking I was charming
then ding ding
drink up your alcohol
home time for one and all
instead of a shared bed
