Awkward
awkward
hello hello
awkward.
One person in charge until other persons
arrive and the group gets in charge.
Three times five heads on a laptop.
Questions. Obvious.
Impossible.
Obvious.
Impossible obvious.
Seven point five brain relaxation.
Buffering banter.
LED LADS.
Fourteen barmen screaming
“YOU’RE ON MUTE.”
Sincerity punches away and
face-on-screen-face
says this is the place for each other
to be each other stripped backed loved up
get another drink we’ll keep on going.
