grandslam

they sit across from each other at the cheap seedy restaurant
they entered with the intention of ordering coffee
and coffee alone
but something happened and now they find themselves ordering food
lots of it in fact
no one is surprised however by the un intentional feast
this is actually what happens most nights
sitting across from her he complains about working
working a job he hates
but he has to make money somehow
right?
there is his cantankerous truck that he needs to maintain vigorously
he needs that.
the random purposeless purchases at the store
that instant gratification.
he needs that.
eating out.
he needs that.
if only he didn't have to work he'd be happy
that job.
he needs that.
