| My girlfriend gets as ornery as can be, in moods so foul, our dog deserts the room; she makes the songbirds stop their April tune when she growls, the lioness, and glares at me. I used to keep the television on, slowly look up, a blank ball-game haze with a half-question-nothing?-I had done, seem perplexed awhile, try to rephrase the question, as if she didn't understand the origin of her malady, but then our stainless toaster-hot-hit me. She smiled, as if I didn't understand. So now, those angry days, I gently kiss her two tight lips before she starts to hiss. |
