The places I wanted to take you to
in my town
from my life
were special – to me at least –
but as you clearly could tell
didn’t seem to work for you very well.

I wanted to show you a rodizio.
It’s not native to the city
but still…
pretty great.
Of course
you’re a vegetarian.
Oh. Vegan?
Sorry. Didn’t realize.
I also didn’t realize how egg
was used in just about everything that’s not straight out murdered. It really makes you think, huh?
Well, not you, I guess…

I figured we could go
to my favorite comedy spot
but I had no idea
they would be so triggering.
Sexist pigs, am I right?
It’s good we got seats so close to the door, though.
Escape was pretty easy that way.

And I guess my drunkard friends
were not the kind of folks
that fly with your kind of 12-stepping folks.
I should’ve figured that out in advance,
really.
I don’t know why I didn’t see that.
It’s a wonder you and me got along at all!

Right, you and I.
Anyway…

I’m really glad you came to visit
and I’m sorry
that the sights of my city
were not quite in keeping
with what you’d like to see.
I should have known better.
I should’ve thought ahead.
I should have been better.
I… I should’ve thought ahead.
