Phone + Husband
by Juliet Waldron → (All Poetry by Juliet Waldron)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Relationships that last a long time develop reflexes of refusal and understanding that just go with the territory.





Husband looks at
the ringing phone
like a scorpion.
He would
rather
cut off a finger
than answer,
because at this
time of day it’s
one of her
Crazy
Girlfriends,
the ones who do not
keep her attitude in
no-hassles-for-me
Adjustment.

Relief is palpable
when she says
“It would take me ten minutes
to get out of this dough
finger trap,
so just
Let it ring.

And he wins again. As they always do. Because we let them. I wonder, have they ever figured that out?

Yea that is usually the way, I seldom answer the phone for I know it is seldom for me, most of my calls come on my cell phone so I really don't want to answer the phone and yak to someone I either don't know, don't like or just bore me. lol

People should know not to call when you've got
your fingers in dough. You funny, Juliet.
