• Positive Illusions and Lasting Love

  

  Positive Illusions* 

  His voice echoes loud across the porch.

  She sits attentive to her morning gmail and Facebook. 

  He scans Huffington Post his source 

  of news and education since retirement.

  My god, he says, this research article

  details the source of a lasting, loving relationship.

  Couples who still love after many years

  maintain “positive illusions!”

  even though they have added 

  30 pounds since marriage. 

    

  Sorry dear, I was listening until 

  this gmail from Echo arrived 

  saying shoes are 30 per cent off

  plus free shipping!

   

  Obviously, at some point in life

  shoes become more important

  than lasting love.
