Sometimes III

Sometimes I listen
To yet another political conversation,
Which seems to me the height of
Pointlessness
(Because what changes can you really make)
And I wonder
Who is this person I married?
And I get a little
Annoyed.

Then I read a description of
Five things abusive men do
Or six ways to see if you are with a manipulator,

Or I remember my friend whose spouse
Sold their house
Without telling her,

My friend whose husband forged her signature
On a massive loan
Without telling her,

The one I know who married a
Psychopath, or just the basic
Narcissist,

And I realize that a little talk about
Politics is not much,
And I give my husband a hug
For no real reason,
For every reason.
