Pet

I tried to move on
to whatever
might have
seemed important today

only I didn't get too far
'cause I did not really give a shit
about doing anything
but talking to her

and I am sure glad
no one was depending on me
to create the cure for cancer
or some shit

'cause all I wanted to do
was chat up this chick
and make her laugh
and listen to her tell her stories

though I never got any further
than the 2nd grade
and will have to hear the whole damn story
all over again

'cause even though I was listening
I got hung up on her voice
and all I could think of was
oh, I want to listen to her tell all her stories
