Ode to my Husband
Among other things, you are my
beautiful distraction.
When you’re away
I get so much done,
but I am lonely,
and bored.

You keep the pressures
of reality at bay.
You give me moments of laughter
instead of dirty laundry
and homework.

I’ve finally figured out why our house
is always a mess:
We’re having too much fun
together to worry about dishes
until there are no clean ones left.
