Richard Wehrenberg Jr. - What 'achieving minor celebrity status' means lyrics

i am telling otto orf that tempeh is basically fermented soybeans as he is chewing curried cauliflower at a foodnotbombs serving he says ‘i achieved minor celebrity status up in cleveland as a soccer player' and throws his thumb over his shoulder, as if pointing to cleveland i say ‘cleveland crunch' he says ‘i can't give up my meat' we allow silence i imagine ellipses floating from his lips he says ‘so you are the spokesperson' lisa says ‘eh no. we don't have one really' jen says ‘autonomous group' greg says ‘factory farms' i am nodding but not too hard otto is listening i try to look at him ‘harder' he has a ponytail and his arms are crossed his face seems kind he gives us five dollars and says ‘if my wife comes back tell her i'm at the loft knocking back a few' and chuckles and looks around in such a way that implies a dense disconnection with his immediate environment we understand this he walks away
