on a bike with a tie on
he is balanced against traffic
weekend formal and home-headed
tonight he is making her lasagna
today she is finishing laundry in the basement
their lives are upstairs and downstairs and traffic
apartment-living and house-dreaming
in two years they will have two kids
who will grow up to need braces
and to earn merit scholarships
green turns the light and he goes
green as the eyes of the eyes of she who waits
green as the lettuce still fresh in his balance
