a serious talk

you have to ask yourself,

she says to me, almost in a whisper,
is this the person

you really want to be with for the rest
of your life?

hmmm.
I say.

hand on my chin, pondering her
question.

then I start to think,
is this the house I want to live in
for the rest of my life.

is this the place I want
to be
forever and a day.

is this the shirt I want to wear today.
these shoes.

black or grey?
an onion bagel or blueberry?

toasted, or not? butter or cream cheese?

do these pants make me look fat?
