Sit down.

"That little girl is cute but she looks like she's going to be a bitch when she grows up." -My coworker, about a baby.

"A Lonely and Expensive Cab Ride Home"

The symmetry of your face--
I can't say goodbye
Because I didn't say hello.

Every time I see you
Your hair looks different.

On my way home
To a bed
With pillow cases full
Of old T-shirts.

Eyes down
Past the Barclays Center.

You're too tall of a man
To forget.

I can't call my parents because they are on vacation in Ireland. At least being in your twenties is easier than the potato famine.
