Mediocrity

Hold me close while we eat popcorn

And watch Jerry Seinfeld as a bee.

Laugh with me as Samuel L Jackson

Yells about the motherfucking snakes

On this motherfucking plane.

Pinch me playfully as I feel around

For the lost Mike and Ikes after

I jump from the jarring image of the

1990s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I want to make Kool-aid with you

While telling you how much I loved it

Years ago before taste and grace

Were things I valued as a person.

Let me rant as we peruse the newest

FOX and CBS have to offer.

Know how much I love mediocrity,

Let me wade in it gleefully, like in a car

Driving down the street with Taylor Swift

Blasting despite our disdain for pop music.

Join me in my pursuit of the mundane,

The mediocre, the terrible, and the worst.

In fact, let's make it a date.
