the directions

two otherwise rational people

appear as if conflict had never

got into the car with the both of em’

when they commenced this

journey---

but that was when they both had it in the

back of their heads that

the other one knew the way to

go---

hadn’t either of them learned what my own

7^th grade math teacher

beat into my skull?---

that you never should assume,

because “when you assume,

you make an a*s out of you & me”---

certainly two grown adults

must know when they are yelling at each other,

just how much like

5 years olds,

they are acting like?

certainly when they look back on this particular

fight,

the way that they both carried on,

might make them

embarrassed…

right?

will they chalk it up to mutual experience?
will they give each other a “time out?”

will they scream until their throats are raw?

will they split up because of it?

oh, the drama…

all because two idiots couldn’t double check,

all because two people who consider the other

“the one,”

couldn’t take ten seconds to communicate

that neither of the both of em’

had any clue as to wear it was that they were

going.
