A cream cheese bagel.

Do you remember when we met at Auckland Airport? You said that you can always rely on Good Joe. I trusted you, Joe. You were hanging out at Best Ugly Bagels. I was wearing a cowboy hat and I gave you my name and all the pennies in my pocket. Joe, why did you want to drown me in milk? Did you think that would disguise the bitter taste of your bean juice?

It’s not your fault. Our flanks were exposed to the loudspeaker. The sunlight kept pummeling us from above and maybe you felt intimidated by your own vulnerability when I took you at your word. I shouldn’t hold it against you and I wouldn’t if you hadn’t claimed that you make a great cup of joe anywhere you are. Well Joe, I want to give you another chance. Here I am mate, can I rely on you?
