coma ghost
my friend from out of town and i
had a late night breakfast at the video cafe.
we started hanging out in sixth grade,
so since we were kids stuck in suburbia
for the bulk of our friendship,
we've seen our share of cheesy blockbusters together
and found ourselves at more than our share of 24 hour diners.
it felt like home to share a booth
drown our pancakes in syrup,
and watch just like heaven.
the lead fell in love with reese whitherspoon's
coma ghost. only he could see her, so hilarity ensued.
but seriously folks, he was a landscape architect,
and took her to a huge garden full of pretty flowers
which made her understand she couldn't just be
an overworked childless lonely bitch-doctor anymore.
but he was hesitant because his wife had died
and it would be a real risk
to open up his heart to another woman
that he could lose at any moment,
especially if that woman's sister
took her body off life support.
would she get a second chance at life? at love?
would he? and how far was he willing to go to get that chance?
we nursed our coffee and avoided our check
to get the answers we needed.
as the credits rolled
my friend from out of town said
"guys like that ruin it for the rest of us."
i had to agree. all those
super-nice landscape architect widowers
that can see coma ghosts
do have an unfair advantage
getting those hot undead chicks.
