Olden Days

Loving you is like
Walking uphill both ways in the snow without shoes
Squinting through the faded light of a hurricane oil lamp
Running to the outhouse in the frozen dead of night
Getting news by messenger
Bathing in cold water pumped out by hand
But it’s also like getting 100 sticks of licorice for a penny
Or living on cornbread and beans
Loving you is inconvenient, but hopefully, won’t cost me much
