A Mile Over Mexico

I try to tiptoe behind him
into the Boeing-built bathroom

But he waves me away
Says to wait for the hotel
There’s no space anyhow
A husband of habitual

I don’t suggest there’s
more than enough space
For me and a man
a hundred pounds heavier than he

That he shouldn’t have refused
on our fourth anniversary
When I begged for the back
of the Winnebago

Back when he first undersized
the effect of perfunctory
