we delve deeper
into our lives.
she tells me about her three
husbands,
and i tell her about my three
wives.
i tell her that the first one
was only for a few months,
and was annulled by the pope,
and the second marriage took
place in a foreign country,
so it probably wasn't legal
to begin with,
and the third
was through fraudulent means,
an escapee from St. Elizabeth's
asylum,
so that didn't count
either.
what about yours, i ask her.
and she says, thinking for a moment
or two,
trying to find a common
denominator in all of them.
they were all smart, she says,
they could all finish the sunday
new york times crossword
puzzle before lunch.
