Another poem.

 

Weird poem that was brewing in my head for a couple weeks.

 

A few stools down

 

I keep thinking about you, for some reason

You were sitting a few stools down from me

At Alex's, on the Corner of Main and, shit, Civic Center Plaza turns into...

Anyway, you were eating something, laboriously

Did you have your teeth in?  Or, well, what's going on in there?

It's a motion of the jowls, the lips, like they're loose

Old men and women in cartoons talk and eat like you do

Flappy cheeks, awkward chewing, are you gumming your food?

Then I waited on your sister the other night

She had a grease stain on her morbidly large tits

The broccoli cheese soup was "not what I thought it would be"

I know she's penny-pinching, but she's not getting it free

She ate half of it, after eating two small mountains of salad bar

All the more reason to find some serious dental coverage

I've got some cavities and, sorry but, I don't want to end up like you

No offense, but do you have a job?  Do you brush your teeth?

You must have some source of income

You and your sister are dining out

I guess I should feel lucky to be sitting in this office

Business casual, making $10 an hour

But I hate it - you want it?
