Wedding Gift

I wanted to give you
a vase or a crystal bird
like the one I got on my
first marriage
(the best memory from those not so halcyon days)

But instead my husband
picked a blender from your
wedding registry at
Bed Bath and beyond.

Will you think of us as you
make your morning smoothies?
Will we be included in your
Margarita fiestas?

As I surf Ebay I find
crystal birds and vases
are more plentiful than romance.
No proof against non-halcyonitis.

I guess gift regisry's simplify giving
But I'd still opt for the meaningless romance.
