Settling Down
by Misti Rainwater-Lites
we are settling down
like Hank Williams, Jr.
and all his rowdy friends
I buy a bottle of pink champagne
that I don’t finish
you don’t smoke anymore
you just chew on rum flavored cigars
we haven’t smoked weed
or snorted speed in over a year
we don’t go to the topless bars
or the Castle Superstore for magazines or videos or new ideas
we just sit at home
on the futon or in bed
and act retarded
using different voices
charming each other silly
sharing bacon and scrambled egg sandwiches
falling asleep to whatever crap is on Comedy Central
