Closing Time
The streetlights almost make it seem like there’s still a bit of daylight left.
They give off that eerie glow of the sun refusing to go all the way down.
I don’t mind,
it makes me feel like I’m getting home earlier than I am.
I’m feeling shy tonight.
I wanted to stay home tonight
but I’m a responsible employee or whatever.
How people have the audacity to stay up to an hour after closing is beyond me.
I want to say thankfully they only stayed thirty after tonight
but I’m not thankful.

I love the streetlight description and how you trick yourself into thinking it’s the sun. “eerie glow of the sun refusing to go all the way down” – wonderful line. Very frustrating when people can’t think of others who might want to leave. Maybe cattle prod tomorrow?
Ha! Good suggestion, thanks
