Talk, Rush, Bye, Click, Good Friends
Wearing headphones, every day, when I jump out of the car,
talking into my blue tooth, with one friend or another, so the
thirty-two minutes will not be a complete waste of time.
Home now, wanting to take a potty, jump into my pajamas,
and be left totally alone.
But I owe them a little something for
entertaining me for thirty-two minutes, right?
Wrong.
Social niceties are out the window when you are sixty-six. I am old.
I could be dead in an hour.
Good-bye, friend. Thanks for entertaining me on the way home.
Click.
I have the kind of friends who laugh, knowing me well.
