Thanks for the lovely time

You took a swig of your sour beer

I took a sip of mine

There was no pause for fate’s applause

As you quickly probed my mind

And you quickly then decided

You were really out of time

To play out the quirks and niceties

Of a night of lovely lies

You are really something else

Vitriolic divine

Pessimistic know-it-all smile

And the unkind burnt out eyes

But it’s fine

I insist

I’m sure you’re just fine

Rushing home to your solitude

Metastatically dissatisfied

Unremarkable ineptitude

To see radiance when it shines

I thought I knew all flavors of my distaste

But this night was a nice surprise

Get home safe and best of luck (not really)

And thank you for the lovely time.
