living together


the property taxes are due

the roof needs fixed

the sink is leaking

the water heater is old

and everything needs a

fresh coat of paint


but there's something about

this pair of ankles up

around my ears that puts

reality on the backburner

for the time being


or at least until you

come up with your share



safety first


i was stuck behind this car

on my way into town today


nothing out of the ordinary

actually, male driver

female passenger, just

taking their sweet ass time


i looked down to change

the radio station i was

listening to


when i looked back up

i only saw one head in

the car in front of me


suddenly that car took

off flying down the road


then i noticed a little swerving

and the brakes being pumped

then the gas floored again


i started to laugh and figured

a little road head was

going on in there


i stayed back, didn't want to

get caught up in a potentially

embarrassing car accident


but i did get a good chuckle

when i noticed the driver

had his seat belt on


in the back of my mind i

could hear one of those old

driver's education tapes

being played


safety first is the key to

any enjoyable experience

in a motor vehicle
