What It's Like To Live With Me
Me: What do you want to do for Valentine's Day?
Pete: Whatever you want to do, honey.
Me: No, I mean a real answer, not 'what you think women want to hear.'
Pete: Well, women do want to hear certain things.
Me: Yeah, like 'Here's equal rights and equal pay.'
What It's Like To Live With Pete, A Haiku
Don't pee in the sink
Is a thing I had to say
To an adult man
Life Advice
Live each day as if it were your last
Seems like impractical advice
Only one day will actually be your last
The rest, you will have to deal
With the consequences of those before
I much prefer
Live each day as if it were your best
Or just
Live each day
Or even
Live each day with kindness and cookies
Those are the best things to live with anyway
Superpowers
One day you will learn
That in everything there is pain
That in everything there is beauty
That with courage, honesty and love
You can transform pain into beauty
Darkness into light
You can endure anything
You can find joy anywhere
If you have compassion for all beings
You have everything
Marriage
I Do
We Said Til Death
Do Us Part
Now We
Must Live It
Which Is So
Much Harder
But Live
It We
Will
Lyric of the moment:"It's not what you thought when you first began it. You got what you want. Now you can hardly stand it, though. By now you know. It's not going to stop, it's not going to stop, it's not going to stop. Til' you wise up..." ~Aimee Man "Wise Up"
