Ignoring the the full range of emotions,
pass across my face in those few moments,
He tried to fit in some tired punchlines,
While I was still bored,
As I burrowed deeper,
His mind seemed
like a greeting card aisle,
There was beauty
in those ironies,
As I just drowned
to touch the bed of sarcasm,
He skittered back to a halt.
At the end, he hummed a note,
That lasted too long
Thankfully, those fleeting moments,
were blissfully alone.
