A cynic's view on love and bliss

Every time
we went to get coffee at Joe's Joe's wasn't called "Joe's, Of All the Places We'd Meet!" If this is some sort of inside story or joke idk but it confused me.

Now every time
they skip down the sidewalk
I see the ants crushed by their feet.

And every time
he plucks her a flower
I see the stem shrivel behind.

And every time
her ring catches the light
I see the war around African mines.

And every time
a wooden alter is built
I see workers chopping the tree.

And every time
she turns to look in his eyes
I see her eyes turning from me.
