Look!

It’s the leading ****
Of the film!”

“Jen, you are not
allowed to talk during movies!”  

“Try breathing deeply.
I find that helpful.”

“Want to know
why you’re not my type?”

“No.”

It’s 2026 
and time to rewatch
The film-
‘6 days and 7 nights’

I knew I was watching
a hilarious take
on dating, marriage,
strain and tug, 
separation, 
planes stuck in sand,
the lovey-dovey, 
seriously funny 
jokes.  

This isn’t funny. 
You are having divorce 
for dessert.  

“Some sort of creature, 
has just swum up my pants.”

Everything can be funny
and “all good questions.”

You won’t catch
me smiling, 
hunting peacocks, 
or doing anything 
boringly Orthodox, or
unquietly silly.  


“Ha!  I’ve flown with you 
twice, and you crashed 
half the time.”


“Stop!”
Something is crawling 
in your hair.  “Stop!”
I got it.  I love you! 
Walk.
