Who's the most bored of all?? I have spent the morning cleaning around the house. Fun! This is just what I love to do on my days off. Now, I can sit in my chair and laze for a bit. Certainly, I don't mean to complain, but how can an admitted ADD clean freak like myself get hooked up with someone so slovenly and complacent? Nine years of this. Nine years. Seven years of marital chains complete with brooms and vacuums and mops and Swiffers. Are you getting it now?
winter storm warning
The sound of jets over head
quietly hum through the windows
while the winter evening settles in
on a day when treacherous weather
is supposed to settle in
and make travel a travesty
yet, only wind clips the walls
whistling and disrupting trash cans
Part of me wants you to be stuck in traffic
part of me wants you to find me asleep on the sofa
so that you will be forced to be domestic
Now helicopters circle
make the house rattle as I look out the window
and see a light powder blowing horizontally
I close my eyes and picture you stuck in traffic
in a ditch
driving further and further south from here
The phone sits inches away
ready to shock me into answering
Your voice does not console me anymore
