i sat absorbed in my friends
all dining outside of Kris' Steak House
on a city mall
a picture i did not take
but totally own
drinking wine i did not notice
the young man's rant
behind me on a bike
'You livin high, you upper class ass!'
i was too obsessed with myself
to know he was there
never heard a word
until long after my friends spoke
a steak so perfect
expensively
delicious
after three bottles
of cellar Merlot
this i remember
Some people have various social frustrations, but I am sure the Merlot sweetened the unpleasant experience :).
