there are some things -
we'll never be able to divorce-
our front passenger seats,
covered, constantly, in clutter & red bull
crumpled clothes, stained books &

we have great hair & are uncompromising
when it comes to over-protectiveness;
especially at dinners with right wing congressmen
(and women)

or our small secrets that only the grass & Spring know,
have, regrettably out grown our adolescent care---
in Virginia drizzle
we signed our distance
& since we exchanged vows of existence
