Someday we won’t be together
I love my wife very much but she’s not forever
she’s already old almost seventy
managing arthritis with sedentary  
when she drinks too much she drones on about loving her family
and when she’s drunk she declares proudly her job is to love God
she hasn’t an ounce of existential anger
nor resents her lot in life
she’s always loved flowers babies yarns and birds
her greatest joy is audience for a group performance.
