How long before I become
One of those creepy single people?
The ones with all the cats
And ***** sweaters
Who eat cereal for every meal
And smoke at the kitchen table.
How long will I be able
To make single look
'Cool'?
Apparently I can't fool
My parents anymore.
Dad's sure
That I'll hook one soon
But what is...soon?
Tomorrow? Today?
Ten years from now at noon?

Why can't I just be
Unsingle...
Not attached
But in there somewhere
Somewhere is a place...
Right?

....maybe it's my height...
