Tuesday Night

By Rachel Middlebrook

Tuesdays are the days that we have dinner now.

We go to his apartment and perform optimism.

I express how proud I am of his progress.

He mentions losing weight and feeling happy.

He talks about how happy the cats are now without the dogs.

He cooks whatever we want to eat.

He talks about changing for the better.

But I’ll bet some days he regrets it.
