we have competing tvs

I hear the drone of a distant TV
it is coming from my husband’s dungeon office
he watches nine sets simultaneously
but only listens to one

I am not ready for my recliner yet
will be in a few minutes
after I have fixed my cinnamon sugar coffee
three sugars, cocoa mix and whole milk

we will have competing TVs going
as I do word searches and draw cartoons
he falls asleep in front of his nine sets
an ideal life for two retired people
