True Confessions

Some nights
after the lights are off
 I fall asleep
while my husband talks to me
Sometimes
I wake myself up
and he doesn't even notice
Other times
I start to snore.

-----------------------------------------------------

I ate an entire box of Better Cheddar crackers
in one day
This happened more than once.

-----------------------------------------------------

People say
I'm a good listener
This is true
This is also true:
Sometimes
I pretend to listen
while my mind is elsewhere
I am good at this.
