You stand there with your best bar room slouch perfected from years of practice half-watching the dance floor with a jaded eye thru an alcohol buzz and a cannabis haze as I dance and posture trying unsuccessfully to draw your attention from the half full bottle of Dewars near your elbow and the half smoked Marlboro between your lips you glance my way thru squinted eyes raise an eyebrow of silent acknowledgement then go back to composing sardonic lines in your mind About your night in the bar how nothing interesting ever happens In this place I leave my faceless partner finish my last drink of the night and leave thinking that for a moment we almost connected

I really like this poem. It's very simple and sounds good to read, whether inside my head or out loud... love the ending.

The ending sets the tone perfectly. You're really a great poet Sue. You have a flare for 'wrapping it up' perfectly.
