Sharing a Jägerbomb

and we will share the driving on long journeys
switch over in a layby exactly half way
I'll jump out and round to the driver's seat
my turn to put on the mix CD

and we will share the bathwater
you'll get out and I'll get in,
make the most out of your posh bubblebath.

We will share condiments
that big bottle of sweet chilli sauce is mine as much as yours
as is the horseradish in the cupboard above the fridge
and I know I am free to help myself to your chutney.

In my desk drawer are twenty padded envelopes
and a book of stamps I bought at the post office ages ago
and if I see you get out a Sharpie
write an address and stick on a couple of first classes
I won't mind. I will be delighted.

You can share my jumpers
sometimes I'll wear your shoes if I need to take the bin out or to get something from the garage
or something

and we will share our problems
and we will tell each other about our days
and we will share a Jägerbomb
on the anniversary of that night the two of us got shitfaced in Edinbugh
both of us sick in the toilets.
