Retaliation

it was two weeks
after you returned
from rehab I
found the first
vodka bottle -
a Smirnoff pint
- stashed beneath
the driver's seat
of your Ford

I propped the
empty on the
dashboard like a
bobble-headed dog

I didn't tell you
this then, but...

going into my room
and leaving my
dog-eared copies
of Penthouse on
my pillow next
to the Vaseline

that was a
pretty good comeback
