Growing Old

Man and his visibly pregnant wife are in bed together. His chest was bare and he kept looking at his cell-phone for the alarm to ring. The woman just had bouts of her routine morning-sickness. She was paled and breathless.

Woman sits up with an effort and puts a hand on his arm.

Woman: “Please, don’t go to work today.”

Man: “Trust me, I’d rather stay home but I’ve got loads of shit to do. The crazy clients do not understand a fig. My team-members are a bunch of morons. Is there something wrong?”

Woman: “No, not really. Have a good day.”

Man: “It’s just, we really need the money with the baby coming. I really need to go to work for that…. But I still love you, you okay?”

Woman: “I’m fine. I’m, just…. I’m just….these god damn hormones.. and, you’re right, you should go to work. Promise you would call me every hour.”

*Man  stands up. He bends down to kiss her. The alarm goes off and He picks his cell phone up off the nightstand and starts dialing.

Man: “Dave, it’s Jack. Sorry but I won’t be able to make it in today… No, it’s personal. I can’t explain it though. Thanks. Bye.”

Woman: “I’m so scared”.

Man: “Yeah, me too but I’m here. Things are gonna be okay, you’ll see. I love you.”

*Man puts his hand down on top of hers..!

And he murmured to himself, with Whitman

I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love
If you want me again, look for me under your boot soles.

    Look out the window, stare at the sky, see where you will never reach, see everything that you can't be. In your mind you begin to blame all of the problems on everyone else. Kill your idols, kill your life.
