the cave drawings

if you do the things I want
you to do
i'll be happy.
if you don't
i'll have to punish you
in some sort
of passive aggressive
way.
silence,
or short answers
without ever looking
at you
directly.
i'll come home late
and slam
the door.
watch tv all night
while you go to bed.
it's what we do.
what we learn
from
the cave men and women
who were
our parents.
