How to Stay Married to Me
(a poetic tutorial)

Don’t come at me
With sweets or cookies
On Valentine’s Day
My New Year’s resolutions
Are around to stay
(talk to me around Mother’s Day)

Understand my currency:
Words, sweet syntax,
Small deeds at random 
Are my box of chocolates

Fill my tank,
Ask if I’ve lost weight
Offer a walk
Clean the garage

Love our kids
Even after tattoos and missing assignments
Put things together: furniture and broken hearts
Camping trips and holiday dinners

Let the dogs sleep in our bed
And in and out at night
What seems like a zillion times
A human doggie door

Take care of the old people
Move a couch for my grandma
“It has to be now!” Nevermind
That your back is out

Tolerate my OCD tendencies
Ignore the washcloth tower
Turn a blind eye to the 
Exercise clothes rotation
Understand it gives me power

Let me be in charge 
of the temperature in the car 
you take the music--
A better DJ by far

Stockpile our everyday 
Like a trip to Sam’s Club
Saturday drives to games
Sunday laundry and grocery

Love me through the mundane
The necessary normal 
that makes us great
