Cafe Shambala

If you keep acting this way, I'm going to take your nose.

We're in a restaurant; it'd be a quiet restaurant if it weren't for us. We're both being inappropriate, and if you don't stop making me laugh I'm going to vomit back up this curry almost as ravenously as I ate it.

So I'm taking your nose because it's small enough for me to grab and I'm certain you'll notice. It's going in my purse and it will stay there with the loose pens, old cashew pieces, and tampons at the bottom of my bag, consistently being jostled but rarely addressed, until I actually need to find a pen some days later. Then, when rummaging the nylon lining of the bag, I'll find your nose entrapped in a layer of lint and crumbs and remember the time we inadvertently starved ourselves before the most enthusiastic dinner of our lives.
