Excuse me
but you are at a booth
that seats six
and you’re eating alone.

If you could
perhaps
move to a smaller table
one appropriate for a group your size
my friends and I
would very much appreciate it.

We would certainly
more appropriately utilize
the resource
you are currently exploiting
and probably engender greater enjoyment
in the process.

If you could
not selfishly
renounce the space you have been actively squandering
it would be a step
in improving
the state of the world.
The business
would be able serve more people
and earn more money.
You might even feel less lonely
were you occupying a smaller space
so really
it’s all win for everyone
if you are so willing.

Anytime now, champ.
