Long Distance

...no sugar tonight in my coffee/ no sugar tonight in my tea/ no sugar to stand beside me/ no sugar to run with me....


There are at minimum four potential conversations in any cell phone exchange.

"No, baby, there's no other address, so just send it to the PO box, that's the best...yes, a breve latte with a shot of sugar-free hazelnut, please."

I think that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say.

"What? Thanks. What? Oh, yeah...obviously, it's not for me."

I know. That's why it's the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say.
