Aquarius Tornado & Leo Volcano

we both say we should have died young
of asthma
when we are feeling sorry for ourselves
like this morning
I was too short with you
too realistic
not romantic
next week you are getting a wheelchair
and a handicapped parking tag for the rearview
you are a sound sleeper
I'm not
so this morning around 2:35 I heard our darling
roommate the next room over
screaming her drunken orgasm
making the bed creak with her new Libra
yuppie boyfriend
being me
I turned the television on
"Girls Gone Wild" was on, appropriately enough
put in "Deconstructing Harry"
Woody Allen didn't soothe me

last night an asshole in an SUV cut me off
on the freeway
I blared the horn and got on his ass
to your horror
and at Sonic I snapped at the moronic bitch
asking me to repeat myself

you are learning that my emotions are as volatile
as yours
we're a beautiful wreck together
exceptional hearts
warped minds

here's praying the disasters are kept
to a minimum.
