They knew that the food here was ok
Not spectacular but it was cheap
It filled you nicely, and they were given lots to eat
They wanted to relax but were hungry
So Chop Suey sounded good
The conversation centered around events
Not much at all about ideas
And the people they knew mutually
Weren't as interested
As the foot traffic near them
Nor the discussions they could hear
They lived lives that were busy
If not always interesting
And the food was enough
For now
Just like life
