listen to me

sometimes you listen
to a story, even when it holds
no interest, you might be quizzed
later. so, you tune in
to get the vague details,
ready for when she says,
remember when I told you about
so and so, how she rammed her
car into the bank
and stole a million dollars,
and you'll say yes.
of course I do. what happened
to her. and she'll say,
you don't even listen to me.
I just made that up.
you never do. why do I
even talk to you.
