oh, i remember now

when i hear the neighbors,
through our shared wall,
making love.
or maybe they're
spring cleaning and
just beating a rug
with a broom,
i'm a little stunned.

when i see them out and about
it seems like they don't
even like each other.

they never hold hands,
never call each other sweet
names like boo, or buttercup.
they take separate cars
to work, leaving
without so much as a wave,
or peck on the cheek.

how can you not like someone
and yet still have sex with them?
oh, and then
i remember.
