days spent away from him are dragging
she is worried for he has not said
anything she actually wanted to
hear the verbal diarrhoea of
her nagging mother soaks
up memories of him
he should have
proposed
by now

father
the bobble head
idiot nods silently
as he pecks on the stale
breadcrumbs of marriage
which he does not wish upon
his daughter but he must agree
with the madding reason of his wife
