You Must Not Eat Where I Do

by Jamie Bond   Jan 30, 2007


I walked into the Vietnamese restaurant around the corner
and ordered a
sandwich

It only cost a buck fifty,
and it tasted
good

It was all very simple,
really

Later on, when I was sitting inside
my apartment
and you were at work, at home,
at the nightclub, at the gym, at relatives,
at the game, at school, at the dentist
and
with
the one you're with,

Things got very confusing
for me

I don't understand it.

Honestly though,
before that afternoon
I didn't know
the Vietnamese
ate
sandwiches
too,

so
I'm not so arogant to admit
the odds are
stacked
against me

Worse than that,
eventually I'll run out of money
for my
sandwiches.
