.
Ailene's boyfriend is very particular
about his starched dress shirts and
brightly shined shoes
He
keeps a tight schedule,
writing notes on a calendar and
sending out reminders about dinners
and trips
He is also a bit crazy about housekeeping:
spraying disinfectant
dusting stairs and vacuuming weekly
His brother, with his rumpled tshirts
apartment floor covered with laundry and
an unmade bed is,
none of those things.
