Soda Jerk

Soda Jerk

The death rattle of a bendy straw

echoes off chrome and red tile.

I am alone with carbon copy memories

in a mirage of “simpler” times.

Bullshit.

Miscommunication between couples is timeless,

a classic that will never go out of style.

I twirl my tongue around the cherry stem.

Wondering

Do you even care that I left?

Are you out walking, looking for me?

Or have I finally taken it too far, today.

Wallowing

Saline blessed napkins are my monolith to reason,

for storming out.

A deep sigh, glance at my time piece

It is time for fate to play her part,

Be it ice cream sodas or

Reconciliation.
