Team Sad

We sat next to a lady
on the train

with one of those phones
attached to her ear

that looks like a gigantic
black scorpion eating

her head off
Suddenly she perked up

started talking
to no one about

someone named Eli’s
personnel file

The guy in Birks
reading the NYT

got super razzed
and projected

his righteousness
across great distances

while we quietly played
a game called

if you had to kill
everyone

in this snack car
who would go first




Team Sad

We went to the store
to buy mouth guards

for when we sleep
but there was only

this one kind
for sports

so we got
Gatorades and kind of

made bedtime
something else
