Dinosaur Story
a million years ago
when mommy & daddy began
we’d go home to my studio apartment
on lunch break from T-Mobile
I’d stick a Tony’s pizza
in the oven
tell him
“okay, you’ve got 15 minutes to make me cum”
and I’d waltz back into the call center
glowing, giddy
reeking of Victoria’s Secret vanilla body wash
and on Friday nights
you bet your ass
we blessed the crowd at the best karaoke bar in town
with our renditions of “Whole Lotta Rosie”
and “Brand New Key”
but now we are dry and ancient
getting excited about xmas tree decorations
and the best deep dish pizza in Toledo
we don’t fuck
but we don’t hate each other
and for that
I am certain
we win some kind
of prize
