this just won't work

i met her family
and i didn't like them.
loud, boisterous,
opinionated right wing
flag wavers
with loaded guns.
they didn't like me either,
so it was a mutual
awkward meeting.
trying to say the right
things, or saying nothing
at all,
which always works
better in situations
like this.
that went well, she said,
as we drove away.
and i looked at her and
realized i really didn't
like her either, or her me.
