thursday


by nick nelson



today is thursday
yesterday was wednesday
tomorrow will be friday

yesterday i went to lunch with x
i am not sure why

we went to this place that serves breakfast all day
i ordered ham and eggs
x ordered a western omelette

i asked x if there was such a thing as an eastern omelette

we discussed the matter
x said if you put sushi in an omelette that would make it an eastern omelette
and that such an idea might sweep the earth
and make somebody a billion dollars

i said i don’t know anything about cooking
i don’t even know what part of the egg you use to make omelettes

x wanted to talk about politics
i wanted to talk about football

the conversation dragged
x wanted to talk about how awful nancy pelosi is
and i wanted to talk about how great tom brady is

finally the forty five minutes was over
x thought the waitress was cute and wanted to leave a big tip
i was not so enthused

i told x to leave whatever
and i would leave my own tip

outside it looked like it might rain
but it didn’t
