my wife got home from
walking with a friend of hers
she melted into a plush chair with a snack
“I’m so tired” she exhausted
I asked why she was so tired
“we walked two miles in heels”
I turned abruptly and interrogated
“in heels?”
I was bombarded by visions
of my wife and her friend
walking the streets of some posh
neighborhood in Spanish Fort
looking for wealthy johns
she finished her bite of sandwich
“no…and hills”
