all my high school friends
are deadbeats or doctors

one of them is a contractor
sees me in the parking lot
forgets my name
he’s working on my neighbor’s unit
his mouth sounds like a table saw

i want to ask when he found god
or why he married so young
and why he never moved away
and if he wants a cigarette
instead of his dip
or does he still like vodka
and girls with blonde hair
