how long have you two been together?

the marriage counselor
asks me,
so,
how long have you two
been together,
i look at my
watch
and say, nine years, six months,
three weeks,
four days
and six hours, give or take
a few minutes.
but who's counting.
the clock
surprisingly
keeps ticking.
is that true, he asks my wife.
what?
she says.
i'm sorry i didn't hear you,
i was looking
at my phone.
what was the question?
