21.

They sit 

Opposite each other at a bistro table so small that their knees could touch

Would touch

If they still were young

If they still loved each other

If they still had anything to say

To each other

Now it's only at each other 

Words float past the other's

Ear drum

Into the night

But mostly a meal 

In silence 

The server laughs at their jokes

But only for 20%

They leave together

But do not 

Hold hands.
