There is something
in the air tonight.
I can feel it
and I’ve had my fill of it.

This stranger at the next table
will not stop staring
nor will Colin let it be.

I’m stuck in the middle
between these meddling males
neither of whom
is paying me
the right kind of attention.
I’ve got to get out of here.

Maybe
I can sic Colin on the creep
and then make my breakaway.
Maybe then I’d be free.
