her bath body white and limp
akimbo, turquoise wash rag
placed between her legs.
the book holds it's tongue
household is strangely silent
things going on, out there.
let the dog drink the toilet water
let the children hide the vitamins
let them eat cake.
the neighbors smoke weed
in the garage,
they keep three cats in a cage.
she turns in the bath
limpid in lukewarm
half asleep and half crazy.
the northern star hums good intentions
cleaning fog and insisting on noise
meow, scream, silence.

My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
