the optimist

how could you possibly
be married
that many times,
and have
so many relationships
that ended badly?
she asks, shaking her head.
i'm an optimist,
i tell her.
i see the silver lining
in those dark clouds above.
she laughs.
spitting out her coffee.
i laugh.
we make plans to meet again,
forever the optimist.
