Crossing the Pet-Peeve Line

****-retentive 
stick up the ass
over-reactive
over-dramatization
over seemly unimportant 
irrelevant issues seemed to 
always be the response to 
crossing over the pet-peeve line
that had been created over time

Quirky Me

A

messy **** retentive
shy extrovert
dancing in the corner
that's me
a babbling bouquet 
of awe fits
and rage
and you'll have to compete
with the birds
for my attention
and sorry
without emotional impaction
I have no retention

can you tell me again your name?

Hold Steady

Car on fire smoking
Alternator shot
400 dollars drained
Pockets empty
Hold steady...

Coffee spilled on laptop
Fights at work
Anger from financial strain
**** retentive drivers
Hold steady...

Car fixed, thank God
Laptop dried out still works, thank God.
Arguments end, thank God
Drivers live another day, thank God
And since then...

I always thank God and somehow.... Hold Steady.
