this morning #1244.

this morning, i had to admit that i was flat out wrong about what was going on between us. how could i be so dumb? this was just another one of those already-written love songs. basic top 40 junk. the ol’ boy meets girl trope. nothing all that special. ups & downs. smiles & frowns. the occasional run around. traditional gender roles. all told, we had a non-dynamic dynamic. i was in a relationship like my daddy had & his daddy had before him & before him and on & on all the way back to the days when wives weren’t allowed to wear pants. off the top of my head, i couldn’t think of one thing that distinguished us from a couple in the 50’s. all this time, i honestly thought we were better than that.
