my third marriage is wonderful
maybe it’s because
I finally grew up
I know it’s because
I finally
got lucky
I know it’s because
I see her
and love her
all the time
the way she loves me
more and more
time and time
again
we love
being together
we have fun together
without even trying
love just being
one two
us
and
our cat
Willow
people who see us dancing
. . .
the women
come over and
say
I had to come over
and tell you how much
we’ve enjoyed watching you
one woman
at a street dance
at the Blues Fest
on Saturday night
everybody
dances
on Main Street
she asked us
how long we’d known each other
her boyfriend guessed
10 minutes
she thought it must be
20 years
that was
our 5th year together
my third marriage is wonderful
and I’m lucky
forever and ever
amen
