While I Am Wondering How to Respond

I insert a Breath Saver
into my mouth.  Me,
my, I, ho...  Who’s gentle-
man enough to receive

me?  Because this is
the last time we will
ever do it.  After the
fire, the one that

transpired directly
after we officially
moved in, while
we were vacation-

ing in Paris (Ark-
ansas), several
months passed
before the bath-

room cabinet
stopped smell-
ing like a ham
sandwich.
