Testi

We picked out a house,
we picked out a bed,
we picked out a pup from the kennel
and started life in full.
We hung some pictures on the walls,
our nearest, dearest friends.
We don't see much of them;
most nights we've been staying in.
Practicing our monogamy.
Friday nights in Autumn,
dressed in fleece for high school football.
Some of our friends have
sons and daughters at St. Pius -
the Hannelly's already have four.
Our bedroom's been less than intimate,
so, I've been taking longer showers.
We sleep different hours, and on the
weekends you're so tired...
now, it's birthdays and anniversaries.
Monogamy.
We both have regrets -
those roads we never drove -
but it's pointless to dwell in the what-ifs,
I mean, what if we had never met?
At least there's a mortgage over our heads.
No - a roof's what I meant to say.
So, we're stuck in a few ruts
(my independence has all but shriveled up),
I guess that's just the price we pay
for monogamy.
I tighten my tie, I zip up your dress,
I check the invitation on the fridge:
"Come celebrate with Tom and Kate,
ten years of wedded bliss!!!"
Tom greets us at the door
and takes our coats,
Kate stays in the kitchen.
I peek in to say hello - she's
sobbing on the telephone,
"How do we keep up this charade?"
Monogamy.
