Small Talk

He rides a rocking hamburger
alongside his two best girlfriends.
This is where they discuss
the meaning of life and happiness.
‘Vagina,’ one says. ‘Piss,’ he says, laughing.

That night his father asks,
‘You know what vagina means,
don't you?’ ‘Yes,’ he says, smiling,
‘I love Sasha and Courtney.’
