Another Time...(sitting alone #2)

By coyote

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

As soon as I asked the question, I remembered where I put the fuses--duh! Why does this always happen-- not so much that it happens, I guess, but why at such inopportune times as this where she is sure to find out? Like the time I was enjoying the sound of rain beating on the window. I was even watching it run down in sheets, admiring it's intensity. Then she walks in, dry as a bone, and says, "a sprinkler head has broken off in the yard. Can't you hear it on the window?"Sequel to Sitting Alone.....don't think I'm just making all this stuff up.
