I sigh
You groan and curse
Saying things you
never practised at my mothers
loveliest afternoon teas
with crisp tablecloths
and weeping flowers.

I run fingers
through dampened hair
You are blaming
everything and anything
with your eyes

Accusing
Denying
And I pull the strands
through my fingers

Idly saying
"This never would have happened
if you'd brought the map"

The saying unfolding in my head
"Speak the truth, but leave immediately after"
chiming warning bells.

I open the door.

Cheye~

*giggling* at "This never would have happened
if you'd brought the map"

OMG ! I KNOW this person !!!

Of course, my retort, "This never would have happened if you'd READ the map."

LOL ... been there ... done that ... but didn't find the gracefulness to leave immediately after~

*grin* yes I think everyone probably knows a person like that.
The one who is above such petty things as maps and instruction manuals.

Thanks all three of you, for replying.
much love
