Because We Are Married

We have this idea to put our bed on the lawn so we never have to make it. When it is on the lawn it is covered in pear blossoms and lilacs and we don’t make it. While I am in the shed practicing my shrine building your mother calls and says Married people make their beds. I am going to cut some lilacs for the table. Call your mother and tell her what we’ve learned from sleeping outside. How even in summer it gets cold before it rains.
