The Stranger, My Wife


2/15/16

The more anniversaries we have,
the younger my wife becomes,
and the more I wonder
if she is a wife or a daughter.
We used to court each other
like adults, word for word,
having adult activities like sex.

She still call herself little darling
and when she gets in trouble,
the precious little darling,
but now the name matches
the moves, like when my daughter 
was a little darling.

The only thing I am certain
as we move to an unknown city,
she will express her anger 
like popping a can of Coke 
and when the fizz is over, the anger
is gone.
