lonely guy

your lonely neighbor
larry, calls you.
i have two tickets
to wolftrap he says.
it's a blues concert
and it might be fun.
sit out on a blanket
under the stars
have a few beers
and enjoy the music.
but larry, you tell
him, what about your
wife, doesn't she
want to go with you.
i don't really
roll in that direction.
if you know what i mean.
oh, it's nothing like
that he says, i just
need someone to hang
out with. she's no
fun anymore, we're
basically roomates.
maybe we can ride our
bikes together,
or go camping
sometime too. larry,
please. i'm not into
the brokeback
mountain thing at all.
me either, he says.
but it does seem like
they had a lot of fun
up there herding sheep
and camping out.
larry, i have to go,
you're making me
nervous. what about
dinner and a movie
sometime. my wife
hates the movies.
larry, i have another
call coming in, i think
it's this hot babe
i've been seeing, plus
the line is really
full of static. i have
to go now and lift
some weights, or
something.
