The Lawn Mower

It is in the ripple effect,
we drift to the far bank.

You turn heavy on the bed and sputter:
"Sometimes, you are obscure, my dear."
I am a poetess - my reply,

to which you hurl this careless comment:
"I see you as a housewife, first."
Sure enough,

to me you are
a used lawn mower.
