Dreamy jazz

It's been WBGO 24/7, dreamy jazz
and New Yorkers demanding more money.
They always make me laugh...
I wish I could be so brash.
I've been
dreaming of making friends, talking about movies while watching movies
with those friends,
and meeting their significant others
only to become a significant another
and appropriate that significance.
Done it before, and I'll
do it again.
It's like working out: once you've been in shape, surely
you can get there again, especially
if that shape is the shape of a
cuckold.
Wait, that's not right, but
such is life, no—
such is dreams.
I closed my eyes, opened a fortune cookie
and imagined what it read:
"Believe in your dreams,
you'll feel a lot better in the morning."
