You Should Be John Cusack at This Moment

So this is a moment from a movie -
or one that should
be -
as you walk out the door of her
house
after it all seems over
after two hours and change
of beating around bushes
and passive aggressive nonsense
for which you're both more than to
blame
and everything's different all over
again
but the same
and now her last words follow
after you -
"You don't have to leave" -
as you continue to your car,
get in,
put on your newest mix CD,
and sit there staring at the
fork
in the road
you can make out clear as day
even at 9:30 at night
in her garage door:
another night of insomnia
and angst
in your ghetto bachelor
apartment
or one spent in her arms where
even though nothing would be
completely
right
it wouldn't matter.

To only an idiot would this even be
a choice.
But you're not an idiot.
As luck would have it you scored
pretty high
on that IQ test you took in GQ
ten years ago
so you take the key out of the
ignition
and you go...
