Curtains
& then, it hit me, hard: I was
engaged with my wife in a
discussion, a debate about,
curtains,
specifically, the colour of: I
didn’t know what had
happened to me, I had NEVER
given a thought or a fuck about
curtains,
but here I was, actively
contributing as though truly
interested in
curtains,
but I’m not, I still don’t
give a shit about
curtains,
you’ve got them or you
haven’t and who gives a
fuck about
curtains:
‘I think the Modern Yellow
Sunset is what would look
really good’ she said:
I nodded my head, smiled,
‘Yeah, let’s go for it’ I said,
hoping that would kill the
deal:
I was wrong:
‘Perhaps, the Antique Moon
Yellow, would be better’ she
said:
I nodded my head
and waited.
