He's better than he is
I see that better than how he is
He loves me
But adventures lure him
In his enthusiasm
he magnifies them
in compelling stories
and oh, love, what it is
does he scale down
I also see it
with my friends' husbands
who know it, but
prefer to hang on
to the attention
they sometimes get
on days when he is sweet
and they don't have to worry
about what else he's doing
