that process from damp to dry
is called evaporation
but I call it cruelty
when you discuss love
between teabags
between this table where you
punctuate every sentence with
giggles to downplay tension
of your thoughtless revelation
between the division of
glass inside this coffee shop
that makes us spectators
of outside lovers discussing
a possible evaporation
rewrite science then
because the universal truth
does not account
to the truth you want to impart
when you hike your skirt
to silence us naysayers
