Coat

We are
Students,
She has on
A winter coat
Buttoned up to
Her neck strolling
Up to my night class
I have just dismissed at
Eight o’clock smiling at me
As we walk to the car when she
Tells me she has a secret for
Me to guess but I cannot
So at a stoplight she
Grins tells me she’s
Naked under her
Coat a fact I
Ascertain to
Be true as
I drive at
Slow
Speed
To our home
And three kids
Going to bed early
Letting the kids watch
TV downstairs as we
Retreat upstairs to
Amuse ourselves
Until the baby
Cries and we
Have to be
Mom and
Dad but
Smiles
Last
Forever,
Memories
Of years in
The UT married
Students housing
And a new winter coat.
