I took too much

I took too much and you think I’m a robot. You’re crying and I don’t care, the Lakers are in Milwaukee. Read your newsletter, don’t look up, don’t look at me, don’t sit down there, it’s dirty.

I watch you eat and I have no appetite. And there’s another big sushi dinner for us to look at. Let’s run into my mom in Union Square, she always takes too much. She’s small like you. Call me from Cape Cod. The silk nightgown is falling off your shoulder, yeah, I see it, I know what you’re doing, but I took too much.

There’s a big red stain on the mattress. I’m moving anyway. The Lakers win and it means nothing to me.
