16,282. I'VE GOT APTITUDE LATELY FOR NOTHING AT ALL

I'VE GOT APTITUDE LATELY 
FOR NOTHING AT ALL
Just talking to that lady at the hospital counter
made me weary. She seemed blue, and on some 
other wavelength of happiness. The sort of stuff 
I just cannot stand. The blue can be taken care of,
but the happiness just has to go. Obviously she
just needs more oxygen, or has bad make-up on.
-
Behind her is the coffee and lunch cafe. She smiles
and lets everyone in  -  the hospital waiting rooms,
where you need to go. She's cheery, and always so,
and can point you in the direction you're seeking.
-
Everything's legion; nothing's alone. These days
everyone does everything together  -  the Welcome
Lake Chicken Takeaway Barbecue, or Romero's
Frie-Fest down in Newfoundland. Everyone's
together and happy as one. You walk into Crester's
Convenience Store, and two truck-drivers with their
rigs running out front are jawing as if they all the
happy time in the world. Route 184? Everything
points to Scranton, to it, or fro.
