She prepares a bowl of metaphors,
spreads butter on each image.
At times he starves
on tasteless soup and cabbage.
She is the high priestess of art.

She dyes her fiberglass hair
with wood polish and rum;
he is the only life: a malleable face,
a potbelly and a cheerleader;
a connoisseur in the night.

:)) oh yes!! I remember this happy couple well, Debs! I have not a clue why this reminds me of Ozzie and Sharon Osborne, but it certainly makes me smile! The most successful couplings are very often the odd ones and I have to confess to being rather tempted by that wood polish and rum. Love the breadth, depth and life to this encapsulated in such brevity. A gem! xx

Wood polish and rum. Have to try that sometime. Cheers!
