Sushi

She eats her supper
Alone,
I eat my supper
Alone,
It is madness.
Amidst the raucous
Laughter of couples,
Children, music,
Waitresses and waiters,
Clashing cutlery and
The din of people sharing,
It is madness.
Her dessert is
Independence topped
With only she knows
What,
It is slightly bitter
But it is her’s
Alone.
