is such a long time.
No. Yeah.
Three days is good.
That’s perfect I think.
So one night on the island?
Two nights on the island.

Marriage
My husband asked me please not to leave washcloths in the sink
and I said, sorry, I thought that was him.
I asked my husband for a can of soup
and he also made me a grilled cheese sandwich.

Spectrum of Nonviolence

they get it. Eight legs
smushed in a piece of toilet paper.

and every other creature

I can smash a fly in my bare fingers.
My husband will stop mid-conversation
to stalk one with a newspaper.
Still, he is not yet sure
which disconcerts him more:
a loose fly loud and wild in his house
or its body crushed in my palm.
Either one gets him out of sorts.
