synchronicity

loudon wainwright iii

little did i know

though i probably should have guessed

by the way you walked and talked and spoke and smoked an dressed

you actually seemed to like me and so naturally i presumed

you were after that thing

it's the one thing

it's assumed

so i wined and dined you

hey

i love that kind of stuff

and we blabbed about our backgrounds

how family life is rough

we spoke of what we dreamed of

what we thought of

what we did

midway through the second bottle i admitted i had kids

but nothing seemed to throw you though i know you better now

at the time my minor crime was figuring out how

to get you in my hotel room unclothed and in my bed

and proceed with the unspeakable

it's better left unsaid

we went to see a friend of your and watch me on tv

sheer coincidence you said

synchronicity

a full moon on a friday night

the thirteenth of july

a man and two women in a room and on the screen the guy

your friend

she liked me on the show

yeah she was snowed for sure

her body language got obscene

her demeanor less than pure

you started venting something wearing spleen upon your sleeve

you got sort of nervous

kind of anxious

had to leave

you told me on the freeway that you didn't sleep with men

i put two and two together and i asked about your friend

it turns out she and though she loved my show

she too preferred the fairer sex

i absorbed the blow

it turns out that you did like men but didn't like their things

that hang down and all the hang-ups being with them always brings

my brother is so practical; this is what he said

you should have asked if it was cool to watch them both in bed""
