on the lawn

It was 6 o’clock

and

I thought it wise to get a few extra groceries

incase we had any extra guests.

I was half way across the lawn

when I realized her car was in the driveway.

I went back inside

I found her in bed

I woke her up

and asked her,

“Honey? Is everything ok?

Honey,

why are you in bed?”

Through bleary eyes

she looked at me and at the clock.

“what the fuck? Its 6 AM!

Are You O-K?”

I felt like my life was a shirtless sleeve

pulled inside out

like a dirty tube sock with the foot cut out.
