Sitting at the corner seat of a nightclub
alone,
I see the world
as it truly is.
I see you take off your wedding ring.
I see your fake ID.
I see you throw your heels away.
I see you sneaking to the back room.
I see you forget about life.
I see you ordering your tenth drink.
I see you making your partner jealous.
I see you pretending to be a different age.
I see you as you really are.
Sitting alone,
at the corner seat of a bar,
in a nightclub,
I see the world
and it is not i n f i n i t e -
and it is not beautiful.
