the dangling conversation

the herd has thinned.
not physically,
except for hair, but in population
of available 
men or women interested
in starting up love,
or like, or lust once again.
can we just be friends
sans benefits?
for some the thrill is gone,
the libido
run bone dry.
scrabble is more fun,
checkers.
it's too much trouble driving in
the rain
on a tuesday night
to meet the next potential
love of your life.
eating bar food, drinking wine.
the drinks are never
strong enough,
again she forgot my slice
of lime.
the parking never
validated.
are you vaccinated, can i see
your blood work,
i want to know your current
state of mind.
it's a dangling conversation
full of superficial sighs.

thank you paul
for that last line.
