interfaith marriage

on CNN because of

Chelsea Clinton’s beau


What do these pundits

know of me and my husband?

I stab the remote.


Outside it’s humid

83 at 8:30

no forecast of rain


I sigh into the

stickiness, breathe it in

till I acclimate.


Then, turning around,

I open my front door to

the cool air of home.
