Needs and Wants. A poem.

I would put up with Arguments like multiple car crashes Complaints about cash flow shortfalls All the poor self esteem moments and unlikely excuses The never-ending dog hair on clothes That-time-of-the-month obtuseness Late night extended phone calls with girlfriends Every time she says “do I look big in this?” Burnt dinners and replacement take out food Bohemian folk music turned up to 11 Unscrewed toothpaste caps and long hairs in the sink Enduring chick flick Saturday nights Smelly laundry covering the floor Every quirky new age hippie sensibility An opinion on everything that’s often far from mine If she needed … Continue reading Needs and Wants.
