X marks the spot that used to be
the popular Bluebird Lounge…
it’s the place where everyone goes
to drink a beer,
sip a tea…
whatever you have on hand,
pour a glass,
just don’t dribble on the keys

No neon lights to flash so bright,
just soft screen glow to light the room…
no disco balls to strobe and shine,
just blinking cursors to set the mood

Pop in for a moment,
but stay all night…
post some gifs,
share some memes,
talk with friends,
scroll the feed,
just have fun…
anything goes

Some love it,
a lot hate it,
but everyone mingles…
I can take it or leave it,
but I mostly take it

Because X marks the spot
of the only place
we cross paths…
steal a glimpse,
or maybe two,
exchange some smiles
and polite chitchat

So tomorrow night,
like each one before,
I’ll return and join the trend,
simply because
