Dinner Date

I could wait 

for the bus,

I could walk,

I could take

an uber

I could talk 

about 

nothing

via text,

I could wait

for what’s

next,

I could 

abort,

abort

abort,

I could

listen

but I’d

rather 

cut you 

short 

using 

a dinner 

date as 

an excuse 

to leave 

early
