I have a hunch
that this guy
may have
waited too long.

at the dentist’s office
a place of trepidation
for me
waiting
waiting
waiting
when
snoop dogg’s look-alike
walks in
sits down
seems
high
as a kite
i text
sittin’ with snoop
just chillin’
guess we each have our way
of dealing with the fear
for me it’s gas
for snoop
it’s grass
he texts
probably saying
sittin’ with martha stewart
just cookin’

i ran into this cheerful couple while waiting my turn in an insurance office. they seemed well-matched and quite happy. i think i overheard one of them say to the other: ‘You got a past, I do too. We’re perfect for each other.’
We have lasted this long close together, so we must have something going for each other.
