Conversation with Wife 16
My resolution:
Say less
Write more
Post less
Listen
That’s a good one, she says
I need to listen more.
We all do.
But if we’re all listening
and no one’s talking, what will we learn?
Maybe a lot.
I’m going to get a pat answer
to all the “How ya doin?”s at tomorrow’s party
so I can turn it back to them and listen.
Like what?
Oh, how about
“Real good, they haven’t found the bodies yet.”

Conversation with Wife 17
She tells me in sweet pre-slumber
“You are my rock.”
Yes, I am made of obduratium
I am rock, sometimes roll
sometimes Sisyphus, sometimes hill
roll myself up myself to roll back down
I am not clone, I am not clown
I am Sisyphus with rock inbound.

Conversation with Wife 18
“I’ve been waiting for my finances to improve
so I can buy some grass
but I’m past age getting paid job
there’s nothing I can do
and I’ve given up on fame and fortune
so I guess that’s it.”
“What you going to do? What’s plan B?” asks the Yogi one.
“Oh, he’s going to answer phone for me,” wife answers.
From fame and fortune to phone
(o well, make her pay in weed).

Wife sez she’s cooking peanut stew,
I hear “penis twos”.
“I didn’t know twos had penises.”
