Choices

let’s go downtown today
we can spend it at the bathhouse
then eat oysters and smoke cigarettes
I’ll even get a matching tattoo with you

let’s go uptown tomorrow
we can have pesto with your family
then take the express train back to Brooklyn
I’ll even let you lovebomb until we fall asleep

let’s breakup the day after tomorrow
we can cowardly pretend we never met
then date people we don’t really care about
I’ll even wonder what could have been, sometimes
