Words:  legs, narrow, heart, rain, stretching, door,
        vase, ship, rocked, fold, lingering, instead


I folded.  Never wanted
to take a cruise
but heart outweighs 
head.  She cajoles
me into a too-narrow,
claustrophobia-causing
cabin.  Vase of fresh
flowers looms from
a table.  An hour out,
heavy rain storm rocks
the ship.  I need
to stretch my legs, so
I head up to the deck.
Now I have a tough choice
to make.  I can linger
on deck, pea-green 
sick over railing,
or I can race for 
cabin to be violently
ill in private, instead.
I stagger back to our cubby-
hole, and find my wife
dressed in finery, eager
to have dinner.
