Mom

Mom, be good to me. You never smile at anything I’ve ever done.
Mom, be good to me. Don’t be the only one you see. My life here has been my friend.
Mom, be good to me. You’re the only one I’ve seen since before I was born.
Mom, be good to me. Tell me what is eating you. I’m older now, and I can be your friend.
Mom, be good to me. Tell me that you like my hair even though you told me not to dye it.
Mom, be good to me. And I’ll be good to you, and then good to my daughter. Mom.

Gailey’s

My name is Alfred I was born in a small town diner.
And now I live in a loft above Gailey’s.
And when I smile, the waitresses shake my hand.
And when I frown the cooks turn around and say, “hello.”

And I’ve never been lonely. I’ve never been lonely. I’ve never been lonely before now.

Yesterday I decided to eat at home.
I thought a thirty-three year old man should be able to eat alone.
So I made myself some pancakes with blueberries.
And tested out my mature theories.

And I’ve never been lonely. I’ve never been lonely. I’ve never been lonely before now.
