across the courtyard,
let's call him Jim.
has a great wife.
she cooks dinner
everyday for him and the children,
at six she calls
them all in
she does the wash,
and the cleaning,
takes the kids where
they need to go.
to doctors and
teachers meetings, soccer
games on Saturdays.
decorates
the tree.
plans the family
vacations.
she buys all them
their clothes. she's old
school.
paleolithic
in her motherly ways.
he's lucky to have her
my soon to be ex-wife
says. sleeping in until noon.
unsure how
to turn on the stove
or washer,
lucky
indeed, i repeat, lucky
to not be me.
