Recycled Prompts:

Grass Cuttings
You mow the lawn wrong
You need to go forward over a row
And then backwards over what you just mowed
Don’t you know?
Double the arbitrary work for the same payoff
Plus my approval
Her Husband
She can’t imagine being married to him
Can’t imagine being married in general but
To him?
No
Taking him home to meet the parents
For a basic dinner of not-pizza
Taking him to family Christmas
(But he’d be family)
Can’t imagine him telling stupid jokes to her cousin’s kids
Chasing after her cousins’ dogs
No
She can’t imagine marrying him
Standing up in front of the same cousins and cousin’s kids
Aunts, uncles, and all of his
To unabashedly declare emotion
Or can’t imagine sneaking off to a courthouse
Covertly signing papers
Stealing kisses
No
She can imagine
Can imagine sitting on the couch her back to his chest
While a movie plays on the screen
(But is that just a craving for closeness?)
Can imagine laying in bed with her legs crossing his
Talking
Just talking
