Poem#5 – dysfunctional

Today’s prompt comes courtesy of Jeremy Edwards:

dysfunctional

we are ink blots

on a page

cue card number five

in a psychiatrist’s office

those who don’t know us

assume we’re the perfect couple

those who do

can’t believe we’re still together

whether it’s a cereal

or bacon and eggs kind of morning

you know just how i take it

and sometimes, that’s all that matters

What’s dysfunctional to some is perfectly normal to others. I like how this points that out. Good job.
