A Routine Extravagance

[RiverNotch]

Thanks for the feedback guys, I've changed the title, and I think it better reflects the content of the poem now. I'm still not sure what punctuation (if any, even though I definitely pause) would work best at the end of the line.

When in doubt, put two dashes:

Like an old couple that always has sex on Thursday --
St. Patrick’s Day, New Years, and Birthdays
are limp obligations.

Or a really long one.
