just thought of this, what do you think

by Fred Aiken

boring lectures made to a spouse
that doesn't want to hear about how many moons
neptune has, nor where the god put
his damn trident a few centuries ago
and forgot where he placed it because he got nervous
before some big date with a nymph,
because those two things have nothing to do with one another,
despite what your a.d.d.-rattled brain might be telling you
