I Walk the Line

It's a hard line to toe between playful tease and sarcastic asshole. A misplaced joke here and there and you'll be shit-listed posthaste. I am probably more often on the bad side of that line than one would want, but I do what I can. It's not like I can pass up a sweet burn. I could try to get back on the good side of my loved ones. But, isn't it a little much to go out of my way to compliment my friends? I mean, isn't it good enough that I'm hanging out with them? Isn't that a compliment of the implicit kind? Maybe not. Maybe they know I don't have any other options.
