Driving Your Girlfriend Home

I’m driving
your girlfriend home
and she’s saying
how she never chose you
turn left, she says
so I turn left
and she says
So how did I end up so deeply involved in the very existence
I planned on avoiding?
and I can’t answer
I’m driving
your girlfriend home
and she’s laughing
to stop herself crying
drive on, she says
so I drive on and she says
So how did I end up attached to this person
when his sense of humour
gets gradually worser?
and I can’t tell her
I’m parking
outside her home
and we’re shaking hands
goodnight, so politely
