Mal de Mer: The Stalemate

The stubborn imperfection
of her bottom teeth
almost makes me dial
though I know it isn't right.

They remind me of my own.

Our sheet music was in sync.
That second-seat violinist
and the rest of his orchestra
beyond the bedroom door
were what shortened our reprise.

Or maybe Pavlov's dogs
were just always hungry.
