Like I'm going to go off to work while he stays home and writes poems.


Girl with the Pony Tail on the Treadmill:

The old Volvo he drove was cute, for an old car. Boxy.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Dinner was great. I'd even say charming.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

You don't find many instances of 'charming' anymore, really.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

He tells me about his job, and I just know it is six figures.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

But then he says how he is quitting his job to work full time on his poetry.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Poetry? You're gonna give up six figures for poetry?

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

No one reads poetry anymore.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Then he wants to tell me one of his poems, all excited..

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Like I'm interested in listening to a poem.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

And it's all about grass and ponds and birds and shit.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

If I cared about that stuff I'd watch a Nature Show on TV.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Who the fuck gives up six figures for poetry?

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

I should've known by the old Volvo.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

I mean, he could have afforded an Audi.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Not anymore, though. Like I'm going to go off to work while he stays home and writes poems.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

He says he contains multitudes.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

I bet he didn't even write that himself.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)

Idiot.

(pony-tail swish, pony-tail swish)


I am Laslo.
