So What

Since the couscous will last a year, they bought triple
for a family of five. How old were we when we decided
that the Asperger's Syndrome you suffered from
impaired us both? The finding came so late,
after the children had gone and messed up
their own lives in their own ways, did it
really matter? Neither one of us capable
of new love, incapable of moving again
so we slept and laughed about our condition.
You swept differently, sweetly you said,
"Asperger's Asperger's"
like some dumb old janitor.
