Happy Honeymoon

Happy honeymoon, darling

leaving the U-haul

another misadventure

me, listed as your “wife”

for paperwork only, of course

One water pump

One chain hoist

One truck rental

and two Sheetz runs later

Here we are

sunburned and slap-happy

trudging toward Akron, past breeze wood

and well-worn spots on the shoulder of I-76

A scenic trip of what can go wrong and what to do about it

but still

an efficient way to know

a trip filled with reasons to know

when things go wrong

I’d rather be with you
