Seven Deadly Sins

1
Just keep it
to yourself.

2
And stop shoving
that lemon curd
across the counter
at me.

3
Oh, so every-
thing’s a spec-
tator sport?

4
Open your mouth
a little more
so my fist can fit.

5
No, those are not my fingers
in your greasy pocket.
Put down that pitchfork.

6
The baby wants
your car keys. But
if you hand them over
he’ll want your beach house.

7
What does it mean, this
pressure in your chest?
More Me Time and
a lot more yoga.
