Corner booth, midnight sugar. You grin; I play slow. Pink straw spins a secret— you sip, whisper low: keep it tender, you say. I hum; let it flow. Coat sleeves hide the tremor; streetlight inks our hands. Kick drum in my ribcage— we drift off-plan. say my name stay the same Window frost writes halos; warm cups fog the glass. You trace tiny circles; the till-clock fogs and stalls. Steam lifts little banners— we let the door-light pass. Snare snaps; nerves settle. Keys rain soft and slow. Your name—bright cymbal— I move where you go. say my name keep the same time Two coats on one hook; receipt curls like a wave. Mask strings in our pockets— we count in: two, then brave. say my name stay the same say my name stay the same
