You Know Your Marriage Is In Trouble Poem by Sooz Anne

You know your marriage is in trouble
when the guy on the Cialis commercial starts looking good.
Grey-haired, tawny, tall, athletic, khaki-ed,
walking along the seashore, wrapping a pinky
around the pinky of an attractive grey-haired woman.
Knowing glances exchanged. Ice cream shared.
It's a nice intimacy. Slow, meaningful. Still,
it begs the question.
How long do these guys stay hard?
It's a 36-hour pill, for God's sake.
Apparently the Clint-Eastwood type can be interrupted
with visits from the grandchildren and still rumble
when the kids leave. How long
does he stay hard? How long would you have to ride
a man like that?
But, then again, you know
you're in trouble when you start asking
when you can get off the ride.
