A well-reviewed restaurant
A great night we’re due!
Dressing is so hard
Damn! Where’s my new cute black top?
I rock the frump style.
Kids, cooperate!
Please, get us out of this house.
I crave six cocktails.
We forgot this world,
Hip, cool, beautiful people
Eating pricey food.
In the know banter,
We overhear.
Our whole world,
the focus: children.
Drink loosens the tongue.
Feel just a bit of that spark.
Oh yeah, it is you…
My love, the father
of my much beloved children,
not just a roommate.
“What’s wrong now?”
you ask?
I don’t love what I ordered.
Whatever. It’s fine.
What do you mean, “You?”
No, just say it.
You think I
am always pissed off?
Let’s not go there, k?
I’m not the one who cannot
wash an effing dish.
God, it seems we can’t
sit in civilized comp’ny
and have a nice time.
That’s not how we roll.
We look away, chewing food,
amidst merry folks.
Pay. Leave holding hands.
Yes, we’ll try again next month.
Hope springs eternal.
