bloody grooves

he walked into the room
his eyes fell upon her
how does she always do this
he thought with some wonder

how DOES she whip up
such an un-holy mess
food wrappers laundry
utter slovenli-ness

she looked at him looking
and her eyes got lit
look at him sneering
that supercilious git

oh but they were in love
the rest of us say
how did this happen
n does it end this way?

how did sweet n sticky nothings
become cacophonous
who should we blame
who bears the onus?

well it's not THEIR fault
they started just fine
the very concept of cohabitation
is flawed by design

two people living
at such close quarters
the legendary loonies
fishing in troubled waters

it starts with the groceries
carries on with plumbing
and this house of cards
dun take too long a-tumbling

you say this he that
he that you this again
before long you act on instinct
drawing guns on count of ten

weary paths emerge
crissing n crossing deep
the garden is a cemetery
look, look, and weep

So all is lost is it
all love replaced by sorrow
i don't honestly know
ask me on the morrow

tomorrow always brings
promise on its wings
of impossible happinesses
and such delusional things
