A Movie Date with ST


My husband and I are relaxing in the living room
Dinner over, the dishes need to be washed.
He asks, "How about a movie? We haven't done that for a while."
My hazel eyes become pain gray with the thought.

I venture enthusiasm.
"Sounds great. What's on?"
I can play this game very well, lots of practice.
I watch him study the movie page.

I go to collect my battle gear.
The OBUSforme for my  neck
The prescription bottles for reinforcement
I pull on my high-necked sweater.

We're there and so is the line I have been dreading.
He says, "I have heard this is a great flick, hon"
I steer him to the right side so my neck can naturally go left
He asks, "Are you doing ok?" "Oh, sure, sweetie" I say.

An hour into the movie my neck starts to pull
I need to get up in the dark and find a water fountain
This is so much fun,
I take a pill and carefully go back to my seat.

ST is certainly a fickle fiend.
I never know what it will do
The next day is a good one as I talk to a friend
She asks about the movie, I say "I haven't a clue!
