Driving With My Knees

Real Life Dude

Real Life Dude
can’t you just say poo

poo

no I mean in your story
instead of the s word

you mean shit

you could’ve said poo

why would I do that

because it sounds nicer

tough guys don’t say poo

they could say poo in your story

you mean like
EAT POO mofo
seriously dude

why do you have to write dirty stuff

it’s just part of what’s out there
I’m trying to be real
it’s how some people talk and live
I can’t close my mind to everything

but two men kissing
that’s gross and queer

hey man the q word
is way worse than the s word

fags make me sick

whoa dude
your words are pointed and hurtful

but you used the big f word
couldn’t you just say
hugging it out

dude what the fuck is wrong with you
it’s two big hairy longshoremen
jeans around their boots
in the dark misty shadows
of a fish stinking dock
go ahead and fantasize
that they’re hugging it out
who knows
maybe they fall in love
get married and have kids
live happily ever after
but that’s a whole other story

it’s all filthy and pisses me off

doesn’t matter what you think
there’s all kinds of people
expressing themselves
all kinds of ways
that’s real life dude
happening as we speak
out of our control
as long as nobody gets hurt
we don’t have to like it
but it’s a waste of energy being mad

I’m not going to read your stories anymore

well reality isn’t for everybody

yeah, well, you know, that’s just, like, your opinion, man
