Order
I want to marry an accountant,
sharpen 6 pencils every morning
and lay them beside his cornflakes bowl.
I want to know he will be home
at 5:47 p.m., ready for dinner at 6:15.
I will spend the mornings
doing the crossword puzzle,
filling in the boxes, never letting
the letters touch the lines.
In the afternoons I will make dinner,
meat, potatoes and vegetable,
Separate on the three-part plate.
