cut scene

Whenever you put that station on
I feel like something bad is going to happen
in a Quentin Tarantino movie.

We're just having breakfast, and
now I'm self-conscious about my stylized
ironic banter, but I know you don't like

the suggestion that something isn't right,
or ought to be changed when there's nothing
wrong. So

I smile all roguish cool and agree,
not in so many decorative words,

to play along.
