Keys Made While You Wait
I’ve always loved something that could mean
anything or nothing at all. That explains many
things, you and me, and the guns underneath
our bed. The romance of the Chinese
restaurant menu portion of our relationship
has long since worn off. We are no longer
pointing out the obvious traits, but rather cloaked
in conversation. If I say, it seems like a long time
until my next birthday and you look down to trace
my sign, we can say the words we know so well.
There’s a sale on caskets at Costco -- like all the advice
books say, it’s good to keep in mind where this is going.

ReplyDelete"the romance of the Chinese
ReplyDeleterestaurant menu portion of our relationship" -- such a telling, precise detail. How many of those little vignettes of hopeful romance have we had in our lives? It's hard to regret them. xo
...and I've always loved the double entendre, the meanings within meaning that will take one as far as the observational powers will allow one to go.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the "Chinese
ReplyDeleterestaurant menu portion of a relationship," the time when new people are still just getting used to each other? An interesting phrase...
Very nice. I love the part about the guns underneath the bed.
