Being nice January 11

You are talking of going slow
and I am driving a trail-blazer?
I can see that you like to do what you want
I make rules, you break them. That is our relationship.
I am a police-man. Not really,
maybe I would like to look the other way
when I feel like giving advice next,
go sit on the couch,
indulge in idle-talk with friends.
Fly a kite in the dark.
I didn’t want to talk to you, last night
I was only being nice.
