NOTICING

Somewhere, some time ago, I noticed

that marriage and relationships, have

all kinds of tiny unnoticed moments -

ripping, yes ripping, a piece of bread

off the other’s dinner roll - buttering it

with the butter of the other’s plate and
knife - so too a shoulder touch when 
going by the other - so too an eye touch -

a glance not to say that again or,

“Let’s get out of here!” - like now.
