Sometimes I stop caring
though everyone is staring
Despite all my preparing
my thoughts get blown away.
A moment's hesitation
an hour's contemplation
This cross-examination
is the price I have to pay.
A minute of reprieve
not long enough to grieve
They tell me now to leave
with the lessons I have learned.
Deny these accusations
these thieving implications
I have no explanations;
this shame I've rightly earned.

25 years...
"I lost my watch."
"Pray to St. Anthony so he'll help you find it."
"Yeah, because I prayed to the motorcycle saint and now I'm getting a motorcycle."
Long time to be stuck with one another...
"I think we should just make this whole backyard into one big pond. Then I'd never have to cut the grass again."
"What if our grandchildren visit us here someday, and they want to play football in the backyard?"
"Well, they can play boat-ball in the pond."
*rolls eyes* "You're so full of shit."
They really are an odd pair...
"Where are you going?"
"Fishing. I bet I'll catch 100 fish before breakfast."
"I'm making breakfast now!"
