We were meeting for lunch at the Maplewood Mall
noon you said
and don’t be late like you usually are

I gave him a bop on his big lizard nose
got in the car and I drove and I drove
and tried to come up with a story to tell
one you’d believe and one I could sell
it was 12:45 when I finally arrived
late for our lunch at the Maplewood Mall
soon as you saw me
first thing you said
long as we’re here I should buy you a watch
by then I’d decided confession was best
and spilled my guts on the whole stupid mess
the unset alarm and the vegetable drawer
the Monitor
