Last Night I Got into an Argument with My Girlfriend About Aziz Ansari

from Everyone's Okay by Kevin Dickerson

/

lyrics

December morning chill
An empty orange bottle on the floor with no more refills
Sunrise 7:10am
Breakfast with my girlfriend

Open the blinds to look outside
Sheets of smooth grey underneath the sky

It’s been a few weeks and I’ve had a little break from travel
Some people think it’s exotic, but it’s lonely and it’s a big hassle
To live in hotels and look out at airplane wings
Missing out on life at home and the little things

Primary physician… Allergists… Ears nose throat…
I just had surgery a few weeks ago
And what a lifesaver Dr. Kenyon has been
For helping me clear up a massive infection

It’s crazy how you let some things float right on by

Vanessa wrote me a doctor’s note
To stay home for a month or so
I guess I needed the rest more than I realized

Western gulls climb high and dive
The morning rain is cold but they don’t seem to mind

The air outside makes me think of home
I’m reminded of Rob Czarneski, The Czar of Guitars
Who died of a tumor in his brain and spinal column
A lot like what happened to my mom

It’s December 5th, 2015, and last night I got into an argument with my girlfriend. We were talking about Aziz Ansari and Alan Yang’s new series, “Master of None,” when she spoiled the ending of an episode. I felt bad about the whole thing but I know she loves me and she knows I love her, too.

In four days it'll be my mom's birthday. She would have been 65 years old. What would she have thought of that—me getting into some dumb argument about a Netflix comedy series?

After Thanksgiving, we got tickets to fly home to Alaska to spend time with my dad and my brother. I can't wait for her to meet them.

I'm pretty tired, and my girlfriend and I are going to get some tofu and matcha noodles from Mission Chinese Food. It's a little chilly walking back from Tiny Telephone. Everyone's really drunk and wearing onesies. It's about 9:30pm and it's Saturday night.
