In touch

Going to the mall for dinner on Saturday night,
I get some breadsticks while
waiting for my Japanese,
there's almost ten orders ahead of me, it's amazing,
two Asian-American families and an older Japanese couple
with their older Japanese-American daughter,
they give free refills, I make sure to thank him,
I make sure to thank everyone
for letting me be so lame as to be here
for dinner on a Saturday night,
it's closing time, my social life went out of business
a long time ago. I pass by a video game
night—Street Fighter vs. Tekken—so I'm not
the token white person after all and I'm not
as out of touch with society as I thought in fact
I'm in touch
with what's left of it.
