The Worst Things About You

The Worst Things About You
The worst things about you? You love babies
and huskies, dalmatians, wiener dogs,
anything attached to a lovely woman
with thin wrists,
and you love the best restaurants,
the waiters bringing you vintage wines
as if you were the food critic
for the New York Times
while we wait outside by the food truck,
wolfing down their cheapest burritos
and you love driving your sports car,
whizzing by our rusting station wagons
as if they were street sweepers
pushing your debris
from last night's party up the street,
and you love to cook in your penthouse
with the Manhattan skyline,
where your souffles never fall
and where you sport a new fiancee
every six months,
and you love skiing
the highest slopes in Tahoe
while I shiver in my small apartment
and you love the latest
electronic gadgets from Asia
and you love flying
in your personal jet to San Francisco
for a rock concert in Golden Gate Park,
but what you love most
are the pals you knew in high school
that you keep contact with,
through emails and texts,
witnesses to your
life.
