is this our 20th?

we are so bad at this
no, wait, i am so bad at this
special days and celebrations
great and small
i’m always late and unprepared
for all of them
frozen in indecision
what can we do for two days?
where might we go for a week?
can we afford it?
what else do we need?
i’m beat so home sounds good
doing nothing much sounds good
what i like best doesn’t cost much
but i want you to know
yes i want you to know right now
thank you woman
for all the love and patience
you’ve shown this flawed piece of manwork
twenty years is plenty for all the cracks
and fissures to show and they have
yet still our love is strong and
still it strengthens
i’m beat by our offspring
love them so dearly
and clearly we have missed something
along the way
love was not enough
i’m beat by knowing my fathership
has left them missing something
they need to see
but i think we’re pretty okay you and me
two of woodstock’s beautiful people
someone said and they were half right
