better
how nice it is
to live without
a struggle, you
must be thinking
how the limp embrace
of mediocrity is all
that is advertized
on the label
how much better
things have been
since you settled
down for him
and every load
of laundry is
exactly as soft
as the teddy bear
and how someday
your husband will
surely cure cancer
or write a poem
that convinces the
whole watching world
you haven't made
a terrible mistake
proof of even worse than bad stuff,
bad poetry
