thirty years together
and it’s piles of joint laundry
and a laundry list
of grocery runs
dinner prep
medical appointments
house repairs
trip planning
walking and feeding the dogs
roof discussions
furniture disagreements
carpet arguments
light bulb climb-ups
money sit-downs
and as the years shift
from duties in the bedroom
to those in every other
corner of the house
there’s something else
that sometimes needs cleaning
or if a part’s broken
requires replacement
when hungry is fed
if needy helped
if lonely held
we’ve got a relationship
we’d like to stand
the test of time
