I work from 8 to 4
you work from 4 to 12.
Leaving notes like
please pick up the prescriptions,
please pay the credit card bill,
please scoop the litter box,
please unload the dishwasher.
I wait up to hear about your night,
how you prepped,
what you cooked,
how many people came in.
Our little dog isn’t happy
until we are both
home safe
then he heads off to bed.
I love a poem with please used as anaphora.
This poem paints three distinct portraits for me.
Love this depiction of the reality of loneliness in a healthy relationship.
