A Backyard Affair

I roasted hotdogs
in an air fryer.

We gathered to celebrate.

There was a backyard romance going on
right under our eyes,
divorce played tennis for a while
in an open court.

Strange how hotdogs
can spark secrets,
how warm hands will flirt
between cold beers.

When two left
adultery
hovered between them.
