you had meat tacos

Saw a girl with a t-shirt once:
"YOU HAD MEAT TACOS"

Well damn
I mean I have had those.
That's a new low plateau
in insignificance elevated to
commodification, though
I thought! Doesn't even
say what meat! It makes
a difference. I was bemused

As I supposed I was
supposed to be.
Then

catching
perhaps my perplexity
from where she was?
She shifted and smoothed,
squaring herself:

"YOU HAD ME AT TACOS"

I was 
astonished 

and apologetic 
and - she laughed 

I could explain. She 
looked at it herself, said
yeah, the words were too

close 
together

damn it
I thought.
I want tacos
