poetry

lauren got clothes (forever 21 of course)
i got beer for christmas presents
it was a good night

lauren thinks she has a fever
i need to take a shower
we're going to bed

i buy camera lenses like lauren buys tank tops
lauren checks her facebook like i check nikonians/thegearpage
we geek out all night long

our desk-tops look like our sides of our room
we have more clothes hanging on the back of our door
than we do in our laundry basket

i take up at least 3/4 of our closet
she usually makes dinner
i usually clean up the dishes

i set three alarms to wake me up in the morning
and hit snooz on all of them at least 3 times
lauren has learned how to sleep through them

lauren keeps her shoes in boxes
i don't
she has a whole drawer full of sweatpants

the mice in our house have figured out how to eat every last morsel of peanut butter off the traps and not get caught or lose an eye
i have a gitzo tripod product manual next to our bed that i like to read
lauren keeps her flashlight on high all night long

no it's not a real flashlight...it's her alarm clock with LED time clock on the front - you can change the brightness to three different levels - of which she insists on keeping it on the brightest all-night-long...in case she wakes up in the middle of the night and wants to know what time it is.
