a horror movie

it was a horror movie.
the man
and wife, high school
sweethearts, 
marrying young,
the honeymoon in Paris,
the kids and dog.
the house
with the picket fence.
a life of
working in an office
nine to five,
taking the train
downtown.
the retirement watch.
a life of picnics
and swimming pools,
country clubs
and horses.
birthday parties with balloons.
sitting on the porch
as the sun went down.
it was a life where nothing
ever went wrong
until she found
out what really was going on.
