Take Some Time

The exterior
was the same as it had been
before they entered our lives
grew up
and flew the coop

And now
I'm sitting here
bored
writing poetry
while she naps
but prior to our present moment
she and I discussed
moving
maybe to a smaller place
where the quiet moments would linger
like a relaxing vacation

Our problem is that
we have no idea
what to do to pass time
redecorate
order Chinese take out
write
read
sleep
watch a movie
then think about how busy our lives had been
and how we couldn't wait
until they left to face the world
and the house would be ours again
but the funny thing is
the interior has changed
and it's going to take some time to get used to

Nice writing Mig, thanks for sharing.
