Two Lucky

By Jeremy Grand

A poem

1. You make me laugh.
2. You taught me how to say foie gras, and to relish it.
3. You love to kiss my belly.
4. You reach for my hand in bed, even when you’re asleep.
5. You speak French, Korean, Mandarin and can say bacon cheeseburger in American Sign Language.
6. You speak German like a 17-year-old suburban hooligan.
7. You teach English at a home for Korean children with cancer.
8. You are tall, blond and once ran a marathon.
9. You know how to operate a chainsaw.
10. You have traveled to over 50 countries, and have lived in seven.
11. You have a MBA from Harvard.
12. You are my hero.
13. You have lucky T-shirts.
14. You care about my family.
15. You look great in plaid and work boots.
16. You don’t care that I look like Kim Jung Il in the morning.
17. You wrote me a poem.
18. You read my poems, even when they make you sad.
19. You rub your eyes with your fists when you laugh too hard.
20. You make me happy.
