Kyle says every thing's mellow.
His mantra.
And when he gets a little drink in him, he'll give you hell insisting that in fact every damn thing is mellow, to what standards I know not.
We were at Old California Cafe awhile back, the coffee house in restaurant row here in town, by the cinema, by fish house, by acalpulco brunos the brewery, and that's when I decided to write the sonnet.
Kyle had an experience out on the water, the sonnet will be titled Kyle And The Deep, or Kyle And The Thing From The Deep, or Kyle And The Shark.

That day at the coffee house I had ordered a cheesecake. Kyle finished his BLT.
"What did you order?" he asks, obviously tired of our meandering conversation, tired from an all nighter.

I have a history with this place, in my futile attempts to remain incognito I've become a grand fop, quite the fool.
Kyle storms up and retrieves my cheesecake for me. I receive it a little embarrassed at his gesture, a friend who fights for what is owed other friends is quite the friend.
