hot dogs on a stick

i tease her
about her love of camping,
her ventures
into the woods,
the mountains.
i make
fun of her tent,
her blow up mattress,
her
campfire,
her bug spray,
and bear
repellant.
i ask her about the snakes,
and the bugs,
the noisy
campers in the other
tent
beside hers.
talking politics.
i ask her if she's having
beans in
a can, for dinner?
hot dogs
on a stick.
are there ghost stories?
she tells me that drinking
helps
a lot.
