Thanks For [Mis]understanding

By Liath

Come on now
It won't hurt a bit
Why don't you go on and let me in

Open up a little more
Yes now I see the hole
Yes I think I can get it in

Is it really too big?
Will I hit anything?
I don't want to hurt you

Now I've got your motor hummin'
Yeah I know you're ready
I'm ready too - I'm goin' in

She's about to red-line
And now I'm almost there
After he pulls his key out
He thinks to himself
"Misunderstandings are a bitch,
they can fuck up your whole life"
He closes his door and locks the car
To go inside and make live with his beloved wife
















(aha! It was about driving and navigating traffic!! clever, no? however, it does have meaning to it..being the misfortune of misunderstanding something...)
