Two Poems by Nicole Santalucia

Nicole and Deanna had a whale of a time in Provincetown two weekends ago!

Here is "Domestic Life" by Nicole Santalucia:

Domestic Life

I live with a deaf painter
she stares at me and moves her hands
I have no idea what she’s saying
I just want to pull her pants down and run
but I smile and nod and pull my pants down
she knows what I’m saying when i just stand there

And here is Nicole’s poem "Wife-Dog":

Wife-Dog

Meet Anthony my watchdog
Anthony is my wife too
her real name is Deanna

When you meet Anthony
you’ll be introduced to Deanna
but it’s really Antony my watchdog
