13 Ways to Cringe
1.
We met under a glittering ball
at the drop of the song
I told him not to fall in love with me
2.
We were swallowed by the city
and when he craved me and wings and beer
I had to marry things like ketchup
3.
We tried again in Chinatown
the club with the ***** girl at the bar
who tried to dance her way into his lap
4.
Eventually I spent a night
but that stupid 9-5
it’s like we didnt even talk
5.
He wanted wings again
I snuck him beers
He was always a good tipper
6.
I remembered his address
a door so nondescript
I wound up forgetting again
7.
We talked on the fire escape
watching people is cool
because you get to skip yourself
8.
Matching robes one morning
we had to play divorce
while his roommate intruded
9.
There were four of us at night
two got married
two got lost
10.
When we dance in a group
half the time we spend losing it
half the time we spend finding it
11.
I try to sleep on his sailboat
but I gotta ***
and my beds down the street
12.
We play BINGO with his nieces
to want the babies to win
is an inky dabber to six cards
13.
His dad calls me his
His mom shows me new shoes
He is petting his dogs
