haiku retrospective xii

thank you for sharing?
traveling truckers always
faithful husbands, what?

if fidelity
is the only measure of
good marriage, shoot me.

good friends breaking up
over this issue. i want
to say, "don't do it.

wait. there is more to
life than fucking. don't blow it.
think about your kids."

forgiveness is hard,
but so's single parenthood.
where's the rainbow's gold?

outside, bouncing ball,
pedaling a bicycle,
petting kittycats.

family commitment,
renewed minute by minute,
uphill climb and all.
