A Kick In The Butt

Your energy
is contagious
and powerful
like garlic
smothering
my
joy
I didn't
ask you
to invite
me
to hate
your life
I came
here to
have fun,
not to
watch
your movie
of
misery,
and not
to be
dragged
into
your
crab
bucket
of
sorrow,
I have my
own bucket
of woe,
that I
am here
to
escape,
this is
a vacation,
not a
doctor's
visit,
save it
for your
shrink
