Sonnets From Other Lives: Dean’s Advice

Why’d you have to tell her she was wrong?
So she was--so what? You needed that last word
so bad? OK--it is a stupid song.
You can think it--just don’t say it. Der!
Text her right away. Apologize.
Play it like the whole thing is your fault.
Look at her with your Sad Puppy eyes
& wait her out. Eventually she’ll call.
Just avoid being an asshole for three days
& she’ll get all nostalgic for your good side.
Then you can go back to your evil ways.
Trust me. Everything will be alright.
But having said all that I find it kinda scary
that you’d fall for someone who likes Katy Perry.
