Hugh And I

“Hugh and I have been together for so long 

that in order to arouse extraordinary passion, 

we need to engage in physical combat. 

Once, he hit me on the back of the head 

with a broken wineglass, 

and I fell to the floor pretending to be unconscious. 

That was romantic, or would have been 

had he rushed to my side rather than 

stepping over my body to fetch the dustpan.”
