Things You Shouldn't Do In Front of Me

Mainly, you never want to pee in front of me

I would say, that’s a crucial…thing
Not a deal-breaker, per se
But definitely crucial

I really can’t ever see you pee
Or, this is the risk
The, I meant not-large, but not-small risk
That I will immediately
Jettison the love I have for you
Out of my body
For-, you know, -ever

There are just things
One person
Should never do
In front of another person
If they’re expected
To live with that other person
For, you know, possibly
The rest of their lives like—

Peeing
Burping
Teeth brushing

I mean, you should absolutely brush your teeth
Just not in front of me

I basically don’t want to know
That you have a functioning
Human body
Or there’s a chance
I’ll never want
To have sex with you again

I know this seems weird
And kind of
Shallow
Or something
Maybe
But you know, we all have our--

Quirks

You, for instance, only like your eggs scrambled
And I, for example, want to punch you in the face
Whenever you sneeze

So you see
It’s a little of this
A little of that

You know, it’s really about romance
As soon as the romance dies
I mean, really
What do you have?
Honestly

Chaos, basically
Chaos and sneezing
And peeing
And sex is just—

Oh God, I hate that word
Try not to say that word in front of me
And if I start to say it
Stop me
Because even hearing me say it
Just really freaks me out

All of a sudden
There’s this pressure to be—

You know, it’s like—

SEX

Ah!

Haha

No, but really
Try to stop me next time

And don’t eat ribs in front of me
Or pickles
Oysters
Anything in a shell

And I think we’ll be fine
Really

I think we’ll have a nice, long
Fulfilling
Life
