Conversation

How much is good news?
Is it easy?
To remember
This was the first place
That week in December

Look at all the change
Since that time has passed
Want another drink?
Will that be the last?

Subjects twist and turn
As the night continues
Hints, subtlety, and thoughts
Fibres become sinews

Could just be the night
The drink
Unknown and danger
But there’s nothing quite so true
As conversation with a stranger
