keeping one eye open

it's not a crime,
a mortal
sin,
her leaving the milk out
overnight on
the counter.
it's not worthy
of an argument,
or in filing for
an early divorce,
but maybe it's a portent
of things to come.
a callousness
of some sort
in knowing what's right
or what's wrong.
but it all adds up, so
i'll sleep with one eye
open
from now on.
