A fun romance

Posted byBeadedQuillPosted inPoetry, Suburban MemoirTags:, , , , , , , ,

it will be,

until we have scheduled Friday sex

and you neglect to text me;

I start imagining my wedding dress

and stare at baby buggies through shop windows;

Your mother makes lamb moussaka

and I am vegetarian.

Then it will be life.
