how boring


sitting across from a direct woman,
who was displaying appropriate shock
and sympathy,  the conversation was vibrant,
helpful.  flowing.  she asked piercing questions
and being open and appreciative,
i was free, and she’d seen it all,
so honestly i replied, to her suggestion,
“must i be a wife?”
and she threw her head back, and
our hour was suddenly up.
