Long Division

Long Division

The bed was always too big for the room by half
               But we needed access from both sides
                              So we made do.
Now I can push the bed against the wall
                                                            Single-sided access is sufficient
                                                                           For the unforeseeable future.

Twin chairs from Ikea in the family room
               Watching “Bones” and “NCIS” and “The Big Bang Theory”
                              One is always empty now
                                             So I split them up
                                                            Put the lazy boy in the middle
                                                                           Less pain that way.

Single rocking chair in the corner
               Sold my car to Greg and kept the truck
                              Ladies Home Journal subscription has lapsed
                                             Put my dresser in her side of the closet
                                                            Both sides of the bathroom counter suddenly free
                                                                           No one to arm wrestle for the remote.

Long division…remainder of one.
