Then and Now

At a cabin in the Pocono sticks,

Unwanted drama on our wedding day,

July 26th, 1986,

My sister's crew is late, lost on the way.

I hear that my wife-to-be is crying,

I do not go to her, I say zero,

I perceive her impatience as trying,

On my wedding day I'm an anti-hero.

It's thirty-six years later on Cape Cod,

My sister's crew's late for a farewell lunch,

This time I'm loud like Adam's angry god,

She's selfish I say, my face in a scrunch.

Ire repressed and expressed can both lead to a Fall,

Have I changed for better for worse or not at all?
