the scent of fresh shrimp

from my dinner disgusts him -

our first night out in years

.

again and again

I am reminded of this

brilliant business plan

.

I ask my husband:

“How would T.I. have approached

this date differently?”

.

we are both in this

for the long haul so we both

practice our patience

- insight -

forgive everyone . . .

the greatest teachers of all

inflict the most pain

a hundred turtles

flirting on logs in a pond

inspire forgiveness
