a girl named dennis






i used to work with dennis

she had curly blondish hair

and silver hoop earrings

she was in her early to mid 20s

but seemed so adult to me

she knew about all kind of work stuff

like macros, franking and that the boss wore a wig

she had a boyfriend with a balkace name

who sounded like a real shit

they lived near handschuhseim


dennis didnt get cranky at me

even though i was a totalmente squillibrato

in fact she was kind of fond of me

as if i were a fun but pesky little brother



her real name was janice

pronounced janəce

but

in that age of faxes for all

people kept taking her name as janiːce

and using it as such in follow up calls

so in an attempt to make it clearer she changed the spelling to janece

only for

much to her horror

some bloke rings up and asks for dennis

making her forever dennis

in my yo la tengo


dennis wasnt cool

but dennis was pretty damn cool
