The Newlywed Farmers Cannot Figure Out Why
  There Is Not Any Farming Being Done

by Martin Willitts
(07/09/08)


Him: I wonder what would happen if
          I smudged buttercups
         on my wife's nipples

Her: the hand water-pump
         gushes water into my open palms
         like my husband this morning

Him: the wintering birds
          follow their migration
          just like my hands
          follow mine to her naked behind

Her: when I shuck peas from shells
         clinking into a metal pan
         until the bottom disappears
         filling to overfill
         it is like unbuttoning my blouse for him

Him: she holds the zucchini
         & looks oddly at me
