Stretch

Don in 1988

.

living with you is a “stretch”:

climbing to the man-cave
hanging from the monkey bars
lowering the toilet seat

moving the car seat back
clearing the dishes in the sink
moving things from the washer to dryer

folding the clothes
stacking on shelves
finding the remote

cleaning the bird poop from the deck
balancing the tires on the Rogue
waxing the paint

manicuring your nails
tailoring your pants
listening to your encyclopedic lessons

starting over each day
taking time for the tidbits
being washed downstream with you.

coo coo ki choo!
