Nerd Herding

waiting outside in incomplete darkness,

for my wife to tell me to come back in,

what are you doing out there?

it’s time to go to bed,

or to watch a movie,

or to read a book,

which is when I realize that is what our code was back in college for coitus so no one knew what we were talking about,

and so I go back inside

to tell my wife, and to partially confess,

that she is a nerd and that’s okay
