the dude has rizz

why are

you throwing shade on him?

she asks me.

she's very hip

and knows all

the current words to use.

i'm still saying

things like

far out

and groovy,

peace out,

making the room cringe.

it is what it is

she says,

two things can be true

at the same time,

and stay in your lane.

i'm sus about your motives,

she says

and 

the dude has rizz.

i ask her to write all of this

down,

so that i can study

the new phrases at night

and not be

laughed at.
