i paid for dinner
 
its that old promise long overdue
a wet check I swore to you
and so it seeks a reluctant treat
despite that lack of hunger
inspite of my poverty
you salted your feast before you tasted
so you wouldn't have a satisfaction wasted
water kills thirst but wine is just fine water
you like your steak well done
burnt and blackened
Fully aware that I'm rare
and when that desire has deserted your lips
dessert is the luxury that I don't know you have
Lemon jello snow whipped to spite me
a lost delight once in your sight
you give your attempts and each failure
to my credit
I paid for so little and you gave too much
I'm starving from surplus
hungry in line with an emptied plate
and then I'm done from the start
you're finished with the ending
here's an obligation to tip for your waiting
I'm left with the bill
