cheese

Patrick Fealey

my parents
don’t return
my phone calls,
but i ran into them
at the pharmacy today.
they’ve been “out” a lot.
since they got paid last week
and are now eating out
every night
on their spending spree
and have stopped calling me
driving around
they’re habits and avoidance
dad gets ten grand a week
for being an expert witness
defending a company
from a lawsuit
which i had listened to
for a month
so they avoided me
until i caught them
retrieving medication
and they invited me over
for a cheeseburger
and then they took me
to a seafood house
where they suggested
i order from the half-portion menu
because they said they’d
spent all the dough
