A loved one sent out
a happy message
telling everyone
she bought a new car.
Some people commented
(to all)
that it wasn’t the car
they would have bought
and explained why
in great detail.
Some people commented
that it must be nice
to be able to afford a new car.
Some people told her
she could have gotten
the same car used
for much less money.
I told her
that I was happy for her
and that I looked forward
to roadtrips with her
in the future.
The world is an absolute
tire fire.
Just let people be happy.
At least for a few days.
