Encounter

Embarassing
and swiftly simple
Easy... 
only a few
quips and foul jokes
swiped your soul
and you had no idea
you rubbed shoulders
with a mental giant
whose gout got out of hand
did that guy really ask
to be stabbed with a
toothpick?
I already computed the 
ends and means analysis
when you said your name
and rejection of the null
was the outcome
Glad we could only entertain
each other's ears
with thinly disguised venom
and sarcasm fell off my tongue
like droplets from a
calcified faucet

"talk to you manana"
more like
never, man
"thanks for the smoke"
