THE CERTIFIED TIMES

The congenital apron
you wore to the drugstore
has been recovered
and pressed
into service
like an insect on a string

Since your husband recalls
neither past nor future
we can copulate
in relative safety
at your apartment.

Damn it,  says Laurie.
Adultery decays
consumes the American Family
like crypt lice.
