MAELSTROM

My wife firmly insists.

We cannot leave without filling lists…

All laundry done–

Over-packing is fun–

For me, it’s the greatest of tests!

–

Leaving things mostly on her

Whilst i work, speeds up her “blur”…

Too much for me

Her fervor intensity,

Being forced  into corners…I DON’T prefer!

–

Somehow, we’ll work it through,

She’ll be exhausted (me, too)…

Climbing on the bus

In seats too small for us,

She’ll be sleeping (me awake) the journey through!
