I'm not much of a one for critiquing poetry but Billy's point was the thing that struck me very strongly--the final two lines are so glaring that it's like you've been spotlighting a field and thinking about what you've seen, then the guy you're with suddenly turns the beam into your face. Contemplative thoughts of the poem are instantly wiped away by "what a dick."
Definitely remove that.
