EVAPORA

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
