Bar Conversation

"Do you want
company for the rest of the night?
I do, just coffee and talk,
that sort of thing.
I really could use it."

We were both pretty far gone.

"Well, what are we doing?
I'm drinking coffee,
your drinking beer.
We're talking."

"Sure, ok."

She was gone within a quarter
of an hour.  I guess
the interest wasn't there.
