It’s only a matter of perspective
while we sit and discuss the news
your clothes, damp from being well-worn
challenge your body, attacking each
crevasse and bulging muscle
that you have worked so hard to get.

exactly, what have we accomplished;
bantering back and forth with skewed intentions
around the oval form of the dinner table
that hasn’t been used since the last holiday.

questions that have yet begun to develop,
march along the carpet, grasping at
ankles just to be heard by giants
who have better things to do.

it’s 6:00 in the evening and dinner
patiently burns in the kitchen,
losing its purpose quietly, as the odor
bangs against our heads crying for attention;

however appetites have been lost
along with the desire to wonder any longer,
when we will eat.

You're certainly in charge here.
