I notice you
in
the vegetable aisle
Behind you
I whisper
Leaning in toward
your shoulder
“You know,
they’ll just let
anyone
in here!”
Turning suddenly
You give me
a startled look followed
by sweet
throaty laughter
And ask
where I’d come from?
My statement echoes
breathlessness
Words tumble
as I share
too much
I say I eat
romances like “candy canes”
And marry each one
I date ~
I just returned from
a date
with a
former husband who
professes his
unalterable love for me ~
Asks forgiveness
for his selfish ways
And,
by the way,
I am everyone’s favorite used-to-be-wife
My former husband even
pleads
his forever adoration.
Your look of amusement
makes me flush
You say we’ve been
together
five whole minutes
And we haven’t
gotten
married.
Yet.
