A girl and a boy with wolfish eyes,

He stands behind her in line,

And grabs her wrists tight,

Hugging

Squeezing

Pressing against her.

Don't stare.

He kisses her bared shoulder.

Don't watch.

She turns.

Don't.

And smiles.

It's none of my business.

So why do I care?

Their hands are clasped like a couple in a commercial,

the representation of perfect bliss.

Is it disgust I feel,

Or jealousy?
