In The Waiting Line-Zero 7

Feeling Ill
Still being expected to grocery shop
So I do....
I HATE GROCERY SHOPPING...I DO

Dizzy at Home
Pulling into the drive...

"Mom, Can I take the car to a sleepover tonight?"
"No, I can drop you off"
"Why can't I get the car, Dad?"
"I don't know...why not C?"
"Because you will be tempted to take it out later at night...I just do not feel comfortable with that...and I may need it in the morning.'
"Dad...?"
"It's up to your mom."

ROUND TWO (ten minutes later)

"You just went shopping and there is nothing to eat. What did you do there?"
"Well there is turkey and corned beef and hot dogs and tuna...what is it that you are looking for?"
"Not that...I wanted roast beef."
"Well, then she will get roast beef tomorrow then."

She stares at an ant crawling up the stair...Wishing she was just an ant on a stair.
Lifting herself off of the stoop with great effort
-She turns to go inside
-Not looking into anyone's eyes
-She bolts for her bedroom
-And never comes out again

Guess I was just standing around inthe Waiting LIne...Didn't take long...for it all to take hold again...SHIT

" Wait in line
'Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop

Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me

Woooohh
Do you believe
In what you see
There doesn't seem to be anybody else who agrees with me

Do you believe
In what you see
Motionless wheel
Nothing is real
Wasting my time
In the waiting line
Do you believe in
What you see

Nine to five
Living lies
Everyday
Stealing time
Everyone's taking everything they can
Everything they can

Ah and I'll shout and I'll scream
But I'd rather not have seen
And I'll hide away for another day"

    Not to be critical but Dad has to be on the same page as Mom. Not ask Mom, "I don't know mom, why can't sonny use the car?" Passing the buck only makes your job much much harder. Has Dad abdicated his role as parent?
