Warm Water
It's our Anniversary
and I'm brushing my teeth
before we toss the twins in the tub
and run to your mother's.
In the mirror I see you
at the foot of our bed
with your hands in the pockets
of the pants I wore
to the pub last night.
I can't see your face
so there's no telling
if you're snooping
or just getting some laundry together.
There's a receipt in my jacket
that could ruin everything
but the jacket needs to be dry cleaned
and we don't have time for that today.
