I Will Miss Your Grocery Lists

my crushes since we've been married:
andy
gavin
jeff
paul
lincoln
arthur
michael

somehow i take comfort
in the list
it's smaller than i thought it would be
it feels huge to me
huger to you
you will talk shit about me with your next wife
i know this and don't blame or hate you
for it
i want to stay in touch with you for the
rest of my life
and not in a once a year xmas card
kind of way
you taught me how to pronounce various words
you introduced me to the best music
lou reed especially
you gave the best love
and i will never forget your scent
or the terms of endearment

cookie bear
baby dude
baby man
the three that come to mind most easily

you think i am happy
and chomping at the bit
to be free to fuck other men
you don't think i will miss you
i am so pathetic i will miss
your grocery lists.
