Joseph E Bird

Hey, boy.
I ain’t no boy.

Hey, boy.
What?

Where ya’ goin?
Get some coffee.

Is that all?
It’s all I want.

You sure?
Don’t play with me.

Who says I’m playin?
That’s the problem.

No problem, boy.
I ain’t no boy.

I know that.
You want coffee?

I’m a lady.
Ladies don’t drink coffee?

Chamomile tea.
Whatever.

Can I walk with you?
To get some coffee?

Tea.
Come on.

And a biscuit.
See. Right there.

What?
That smile.

Smile?
You’re trouble.
So much trouble.
