“I DO”

"’I am’ is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that ‘I do’ is the longest sentence?”

        – George Carlin  

When you vowed never,

you tempted fate  

like how my toes curl

around your wrists.  

You say no, not now,  

then turn click click click

like a stubborn pill cap.  

You feign sleep,   

and I creep downstairs

to the medicine cabinet.
