Sometimes I Can Still Smell D76 in the Air.

I just wanted to have fifteen seconds
Inside a house made for two
Brown wallpapering
Stenciled wild flowers
That we both hate
A picture that I hang up
And must remind him how much he loves me
In order to keep it up
Four chairs and a table found at a flea market
Kitchen cabinets redone soon after we moved in
That entertainment center that says we've lived here a while and have gotten a bit comfortable
The things made of old time
Like rusted tin recipe boxes
The recliner chair thread borne plum colored ridges smoothed out with age
I want us to be surprised at all we were once not here and happy and living our lives the way we saw others live theirs better than ours.......
