more nite chat: 4:18

so
how is it
that i still
after thirteen years of telling you about myself
i still have stuff to tell you
i mean, partially, that's cause i have new stuff come up, ya know

i had collard greens with dinner
and when i put the extra away
i stained out all the greens and put them in a big to-go soup container
then i filled up the remaining space with the pot-licker
and i was going to put the remaining liquid
in another to-go soup container
to make miso soup with
but
it didn't seem like enough
so
i just picked up the big damn pot
and drank it out of the pot
seriously
i didn't dirty a glass or bowl or anything
i just upended the pot
and drank, what, like 14 ounces of collard green broth
that's how hard core i am

oooooo sexy, right

and i wanted donuts
but all this talk of tequila
and the actual experience of the collard greens
[with cajun spice]
makes me want savory
and
this is what i want
the lemon roasted potatoes
and idk what else
maybe just a bunch of those
they are amazing
i love spanakopita, but i haven't had theirs
it's one of the places you can order from
and i only ever order those potatoes and a greek salad
or green beans

i have eaten at the restaurant a couple times
it's not far from me
but
it depresses me
because it used to be a restaurant that i loved
that's gone now
which interferes with my enjoyment
of the new place's very good food

so we can order those potatoes
and whatever you want
and we can drink whatever we like
we could do that as a picnic on the floor
or
we could build a fort
or
we could do something else--  your pick

while we eat
we could watch something
or we could listen to music
or we could just talk
but
sometimes it's nice to do one or the other thing
with the food
because then you don't have to worry
about talking and eating at the same time
and
then there's something to talk about
if you picked the watching or listening thing right

probably
i should go on and write the poem now

i might write more later
i left a place holder
just in case
