prattle

someone i don’t know is amazing.
        a little sip of coffee.
i move my head with it,
nodding and bobbing,
mmm, yeh, yeh, amazing.
my buoyant eyes,
gazing at his shoes
        the guy in front of me.
grazing a familiar field.
        we've been here before.
with a mouthful of cud.
she talks some more about this dude,
totally oblivious to my disdain,
so i purposefully burn my lip on the coffee.
wait,
what the fuck did i do that for?
now my lip hurts.
        light a fag and chew on it.
