Trying very hard to

Adapt to the days getting

Longer…

Need to somehow reset

When I want to be in

Bed earlier…

My mind when awake

Hours become so trying…

Under a thumb

I’m realizing is not

Just a feeling of one

But felt by both…

Outside time is needed

Time alone…

Shared inside time

Isn’t working

As one unduz

What the other does

So the effort when not

Appreciated is stopped

Making us both unhappy

With the results…

One wanting to cook

And eat constantly

One wanting to eat out

Or not at all…

When there’s nowhere

To be…no schedule to keep

No routine…

2 begin to bark

At every slight annoyance…

And of course each has

Their own annoyance

And flashpoint…

The annoyances are becoming

Many

And the flashpoint

Coming quicker and

More often…

Bedtime is no longer

Soothing these

Prickly Pairs….
