“Changing the position
Of your bed
Will mess up your sex life.”
So I was informed
By my college girlfriend
In the fall of 1960.
I never thought much
About her prophecy
Until a half century later.
This morning my wife of 25 years
Decides to “rearrange” the bed…
And thus the entire bedroom.
She thinks
The window’s natural light
Best on her side.
I moan and complain,
Get called a “lazy asshole”
As I move bookcases, lamps and chest of drawers.
Tonight,
I recognize I should have remembered
What I heard 50 years ago.
