Diamond Head Hike with Connie D., Tommy D. & Mike D.

A Quiet Life—Una Vita Tranquilla

A Quiet Life

tortures  you

in unexpected ways

It leads you on

like a hot babe

with her long legs

wrapped

around your mid-section

pulling you into her

and just when you think

you can’t take any more

she slices your thumb off

and lets you run around in circles

howling WHY did you do that

WHY couldn’t you just LEAVE ME ALONE?

I’ve been good!

I’ve been good for fifteen years

I’ve started a new life

a new family

why couldn’t you

just leave me alone?

And she replies…

because

YOU BELONG TO ME.
