This husband of mine…
Wanted a simple birthday…steak…Stitch…a few hours at the casino… Enjoyed some Whales of Fun…played a little Pirate’s Loot…headed for a coffee…had that feeling…of being watched… A man…middle aged…sitting with his wife…smiled and nodded…like hey…I know you…hello there old gal… Looked over the shoulder…the smile and nod surely meant…for someone else… Settled on mistaken identity…some lucky doppelgänger looking like…yours truly…but saw him again…when leaving with the birthday boy…this time…he waved… Was baffled by who he was…a friend from Old Town…a student all grown up…the plumber who fixed the toilet two years ago…the not knowing…was troubling… And so it is…in life…there come those questions…those haunting unanswered questions…about the illness…the infidelity…the random guy at the casino… They don’t matter…let them go…open that box…and set yourself free… And this husband of mine…agrees…
