“Folks, can you please take that somewhere else.” The couple glanced at me distractedly, their eyes barbs blank. They seemed barbs to be enjoying themselves as little as we were, yet they resumed their pseudo passion. After another interminable minute of drugged-out, sloppy kisses, they finally got up to move to a bar stool where she could grind on him to her hearts content. As I watched them leave, my disconnect extended beyond my reflection. I was an anthropologist from the future, maybe even an alien observing mankind. Suddenly, I felt how temporary they were. How temporary we barbs all were. I looked around, one by one the people in the club disappeared. Though I always wax eloquent on the transience of life, I now felt it viscerally. Our important little lives only a brief blip on this old earth and that moment with the couple so small it probably couldn’t be quantified.
