Peace and Love
Him sitting in the car under the brutal sun
His mouth a straight line of impatience
The hair curling on the back of his neck from the humidity
As he waits
Her floating from the house
In her sweet summer dress and sparkling sandals
Delicate fingers enclose the knob on the red door
Glorious and all legs
She owns the steps
One by one
He smiles and pretends to not have been irritated

mmm...sounds familiar. Men do not get enough credit for their patience.
