M-Married

I tell Jerene over dinner,
Seeking only to keep her abreast,
'I am so unhappy.
I've never been unhappy before.
The time I look forward to
Is going to bed. I only want to sleep.'
She says, high cheekbones,
Eyes a-fire, 'That's pure bullshit.
All you want is sex.
Maybe after, you want to sleep.'
And then, she spears
A fried oyster, pops it into her mouth,
And I swear, it was screaming.
