mediation

we settle out of court.

i get all the books,

she gets the kitchen gear.

i get the sofa and the tv,

she gets

the big mirror in the hallway

and the one in

the bedroom.

she takes her yogurt

and frozen fish,

i keep the meat

and potatoes.

she gets the mini van,

i keep the convertible.

i keep the dog, she keeps

the parakeet.

the kids we cut in half,

i get the boy, she gets the girl.

the friends relatives,

we leave up to them.
