Rectitude

“Oh, they're disgusting,” she says from the kitchen.
He raises his eyes from his novel. “Who?,”
But he already knows. The missus is watching
The Paoli twins laying next to their pool.
He joins her, but briefly, tells her she's right,
And goes back to his book. Once she has left
With the laundry, he rises, tiptoes into
The kitchen again and gives them another look.
