Lamely drunk women
in the middle of a Sunday afternoon
giggling into a cellphone
but unable to call a cab
Negative slurring
inferring impatience,
anal-retentive obsessions with
time and timeliness
and a general disregard
for the tender aspects
present on this August day:
The gentle lapping of the cool wind
against your inebriated skin,
or the undulating motions of the grass
on the hills of Dolores Park
