Me and You
  Me, on the toilet
  You, in the shower, staring
  This is not my bathroom
  Me, cuffed by the cops
  You, standing in red-blue light
  Wow you are gorgeous
  Me, puzzled in my cell
  How did that even happen?
  How much did I drink?
  You, pressing charges
  Me, concerned but kind of happy
  I’ll see you again
  Me, with no lawyer
  You, with a lot of money
  Your bathroom was nice
  You, explaining your case
  It’s fun to hang out with you
  This is really great
  Me, losing the case
  With an order of restraint
  This is much less fun
  Me, feeling depressed
  You, feeling much more safe now
  Why can’t we hang out?
  Me, in my bathroom
  It feels so strange to me now
  I miss your toilet
  You, in the window
  Me, perched with binoculars
  Fifty yards away
  Me, at your doorstep
  You, mad with a baseball bat
  Can I have your cell?
  Me, bleeding a lot
  You, about to call the cops
  I am leaving now
  Me, buying whiskey
  Me, drinking a lot of whiskey
  God I love whiskey
  Me, with blurry eyes
  My face, landing in the mud
  I need a shower
  Me, in warm water
  You, somewhere else probably
  I am all alone
  Me, not all alone
  Someone, now in the doorway
  This is not my bathroom.

This was an experimentation with haiku that I used to tell a weird story. I hope it's okay.
