I find
Myself
Of late
Doing
Dishes
(or Laundry
Yoga
Meditation
Really anything)
And thinking about
The
Prince
It’s none of
My business
Really
(except
they
publicly
announced
their business
right to me)
So I can’t help but think of this
Lucky lucky lucky
woman
and her prince
and finding myself
wanting them to win
to really have it
to do what they want
to truly love each other as much as they seem to
and to do it for happily every after
I want the love
To be real
Because
Right now
My daily sadness
The daily news
Our daily intake of horror
It needs the prince
With his red beard
And charming ways
And that surging love in his eyes
It needs that prince
On his horse
To ride in
And save us
If only in my
Sudsy dreams
At the sink
Cleaning up after breakfast
