Channel TLC
Let's workshop this poem about a man resigned to his fate
Channel TLC
Instead of going “You
okay?” or even “What
the hell?”, when the bed
imploded under
his expanding wife,
he held the headboard
so as not to roll left
to her on the floor
and, from what seemed
still sleep, proclaimed
with haruspex grace:
“And so it begins.”
