"That year we hardly slept,..." -Line 1 "Heaving words like furniture." -Line 14 "The lawyer's bewilderment when we cried, the last day." -Lines 20-21
I also liked this poem because it was easy to understand. I'm pretty sure this focuses on the cycles of the speaker's relationship with a spouse. The first quote shows the early, crazy days of purely physical emotion. The second shows the fighting-verbal and possibly also physical. And the last stanza goes through the divorce of the couple. When, "We held on tight, and let go," sums up the poem's content: two lovers were "in love" but it didn't last. The tone presented is mostly reminiscent of memories in the past, probably the ones in the first quote and in lines 8-10, "FM and full-blast blues, hours of guitar 'you gonna miss me when I'm gone.'" That last quote is actually ironic, because it means before the couple divorced they spoke of sadness of their break-up. This poem was also easy to read because it is relatable. Not personally for me, but for many others, and almost this exact content is often portrayed in movies and on TV shows. Because of its constant occurence in the real world and the imminent depiction in the media, relating to this poem was simple, making it more fun for me to read.
