Seeking a Friend in LA
When are you free?
I haven’t seen you since last fall.
My shift starts at three,
and I can’t do August at all.
Maybe September,
if I can remember the date.
I’m the befriender
seeking a friend in LA.
All of my friends
have gone out live their best lives.
I’m in my bed
by ten or eleven each night.
I feel offended.
No invite extended to play.
When work has ended,
I’m seeking a friend in LA.
My phone to my ear,
it might be a faulty connection.
I couldn’t hear
a word that you said to me just then.
Return to sender.
I moved once again yesterday.
Write me a letter
seeking a friend in LA.
