gibe

how quickly it degrades
it started out so well
a little flirt
a little laugh
a little challenge
over drinks
banter and belly laughs
and then
a wrong turn
down a verbal highway
of potholes
each word, a trap
each draw, a danger
it got mean
good-natured ribbing
turned to taunts
and gibes
and this is why
we can never
play drunk Scrabble
again
