NaPoWriMo 19

Auto Penitence


Forgive me others for I have directed
another to fill the oil receptacle
of my vehicle with water to the brim
I have turned the key, oblivious
to grim consequence, and I have
phoned AAA in willful ignorance
of my error. I have stood haughty
and sniggering at the piddly belief
a boy held that water would spew
and burn us if we did not wait two
hours for the engine to cool. I chided
him "you silly" for his ignorance
as I turned the oil receptacle cap,
turning my face away from water
contained to my left. My ego grown
godly my haughtiness knew no
bounds as I bid him from his carwash
hose to pour. "How much?" he asked
and I said, "More!"

It's a robot. Delete! Delete! Delete!

Is it getting easier for you? It is, strangely, for me. I think we're the only ones who haven't given up except for Raul who also keeps at it. Yay and cheers for us. After this we deserve a night out.
