Blockhead - by Marvo

So her dad asked me to come over,
right?
and lay some block with him.

And I don't know anything about
laying concrete block,
but it's Lorna's dad,
right?

So I am saying yes
without thinking,
and we plan for today
and I borrow leather gloves
from DeVito
and I'm pretty on top of it all,
because I get to spend the day
around Lorna,
working and helping her dad.

But when I drive up,
he tells me
Lorna's upstate for the weekend
with her older sister.

And then he sends me home,
right?
to change into jeans
instead of
shorts.

I don't know what I'm doing.

And I've gotta do it
my whole
Saturday.
