The mister told me that from time to time he looks at me
and knows
that I would rather be
anywhere but here.
I think, but do not say, ‘Your job is making buildings stand
My job is thinking thoughts.’

Did I tell you that these days the mister gets a text from the bank whenever I withdraw money or use my credit card? On account of, you know, it’s not my bank account. If the mister were to sign a No Objection Certificate I could get my own bank account, texts from which he would not receive. But the energy for setting up another bank account? Where would I getz it?
Sometimes, especially if I’ve done his ironing, the night before, the mister rings me after I’ve paid for my lunch but before I get to the car and says, ‘So, did you enjoy your lunch at Dome?’
Such larks, being man and wife.
