Two Weeks

What would you do
if you knew
the great love of your life
was coming?

Not in the theoretical
the imagined
but coming like
a real date on the calendar
the tickets you booked
the final exam

What if you knew 
with such certainty
that you put your house in order
changed the sheets
stocked the pantry
set out those little soaps?

If you knew this great love was coming
what would you do?
