TRIVIA QUESTIONS AND WRONG ANSWERS

It was just a burger joint,
trivia questions and wrong answers,
we, looking left or right
but never at each other, our
eyes dancing like lost gypsies

we found comfort in our awkwardness
no one to rescue us from one another
we cut our parachutes long before
our descent, slowly tumbling in air
hoping to catch a breath and share a word

and as the rain came down
two hearts beat separately
moisture dripping down from our glasses
like the tears behind our eyes.
