Public Grooming
too excited to sleep?
-----------------------
didn't i see you at that dallas restaurant? pull up in the passenger side of the mercedes-benz coupe with the SMU bumper sticker?
didn't we exchange glances and pleasant smiles as i walked by you to my table?
didn't i catch you looking over at date when she got up to go to the rest room?
didn't you sub-consciously lightly rub your 2 carat diamond ring?
didn't i see you nonchalantly smile my way, again, when you were getting up to leave?
didn't i watch you turn back, one more time, to look at our table before walking out the door? wanted one more peep before stepping into the mercedez-benz coupe with the SMU bumper sticker?
are you jealous?
are you longing for the days before the days you're in?
are you wondering if you cashed your chips in too soon?
are you wishing you hadn't cashed your chips in so soon?
are you wanting to trade the coupe, the .0111111111 year old child, the showtime sunday nights--
for something else?
is it my 8 o'clock shadow?
is it my messed up hair?
is it my lack of ring on the left hand, and the white teeth underneath the slight grin?
what is it that makes you think i'm better than your bland, cookie cutter, dark haired, fishing shirt, top-sider, banker?
maybe you think i'm a musician-
or maybe you think i'm an artist.
or maybe you are just so incredibly bored with your life that you're reaching out for any and all fantasies that could liven up your daily day dreaming.
(am i the fodder for the starving dreams of suburban housewives?
[surely i'm not muscular enough])
it is probably true that it's something in the water that makes people in TX marry so young.
either that or it's just all the hot blondes that need to be making memories when they're still blonde and not platinum.
but still it's got to be painful.
there's no growing up.
there's high school, one date party, and then marriage.
well, why wait nate?
what more do you want?
