"The Buzz"

The grog of the morning had not left Kendle. He sat in front of the TV with his favorite blue mug filled with strong coffee. He needed it. The night before was not kind. He just could not manage to get to sleep. He tossed and turned and rearranged. He was unintentionally a four in the morning yogi. He flipped through the channels and landed on VH1. The "morning buzz" was on which usually consisted of terrible adult contemporary music. Not the kind of stuff he was normally into. Occasionally something listenable came on. Kendle was a bit of a music snob. For some reason one particular song caught his attention. Maybe it was the lack of sleep. It was some duet about a man getting cut off and lamenting it and a woman trying to explain herself. The song was kind of hilariously pathetic but the beat was good. It sounded like something Brenda would absolutely eat up. He thought about Brenda dancing around her apartment as she imagined him as the guy and herself as the girl in the song and laughed out loud. He caught the credits of the video. It was "Gotye feat. Kimbra-Somebody That I Used To Know" He felt glad she was no longer in his life. He imagined her lavishing herself in his imagined regret, which he did not feel. He knew with all assurance that is exactly how she was and what she would do. He took a satisfying gulp of coffee and changed the channel.
