Zoser's Call
I got back to my house
picked up my messages
some elderly, Midwestern guy named Zoser called
with some stoned-off-his-ass young guy in the background
and the elderly guy’s telling me to call him back
he gives me an eight digit number which I can’t hear
cuz the stoned guy is squawking in the background
yelling my name jeeringly; obtrusively
I can’t make no sense out of the message
don’t know who they are, prank callers most likely
so then I call a friend
her mom tells me she’s in Mississippi
‘Fuck is she doing in Mississippi?
‘Fuck is that old guy doing with that stoned kid?
‘Fuck are they calling me?
I ponder... then the phone rings
someone's calling
wants me to come to Pennsylvania a few days with him
well, whatever, sure
I’ll go chill in Pennsylvania
and humor this crazy world
