CEE

The pay phone rings at the HESS station, and
I pick up,
M’buddy who’d graduated the year before’s
All chatty
Hail, fellow, well met, Bob’s yer uncle
Doin’ me a titty twister of Graduation back slap,
Asks about the ceremony
I tell him, “X,
I spent my graduation at Y’s house,
Watching the Washington Diplomats
Get ripped off in a soccer game
In their own (RFK) stadium.”
Poison silence at my heresy, then
Box torn by someone
Actually, Really being outside it—
Rather than just pretending—
Asks, wet,
“Z...Why?!”
I say,
“I dunno, the goal looked good
From where I was sitting!”
