you were casual with your proper intrusions
showing me photos you cut out of life
and claimed as your very own afterwards

while shopping for snowshoes for goldfish
you said they were coy about their style
but you knew best what they needed

as you had lived without what you wanted
longer than you had lived with contentment
and he never was very sincere, you said

even though he was there all the time
and didn't even pretend to see through you
when you stood in front of the sunrises

daring him to mention how damp your dawn was

Well, well, well ... I will have a big smile on my face for quite a while after reading this.

The irresistible creativity you put into your poems makes me think of how cute your conversations must be... "snowshoes for goldfish"

The whole poem is uniquely appealing.

This makes me think of a sad little housewife; you know, the ones that have become less of a woman and more of a fixture.  There's always someone that will come around and show them what they're missing though.  Kinda sad, like Bridges of Madison County, sad.

(contrary to how many times I used the word, I am not, sad)

I read the title and knew I'd love this one... I wasn't mistaken! *S* Wonderful wordplay!
