this morning over breakfast, it was much too late
the milk had finally reach its expiration date
four figures in black ink pressed from a printing plate
to tell me to beware, be cautious, hesitate
that day I was alone
nowhere to go just calling for some temporary home
memorized the dial tone
hung by the phone cause everyone was busy
with their boy/girlfriends, their live dead-ends
the long weekends, forgive me if this list offends,
I probably should get over it
okay. I'm over it
the calendar repeats May 1st
that stupid square I hate
the dreary day we reached our expiration date
instead of crying I should really celebrate
the miracle of our beloved emancipation state
that day I was alone
nowhere to go, just calling from some temporary home
your voice the dial tone
a distant drone 'cause
you were just so busy
if you call me now we'll make amends
and do it just like two bookends
what's a little love between old friends?
I'm over it
didn't I say...
