Ironic (I hope that's your intent) and vivid. One quibble--I think "aflutter" is one word.
Imagery is amazing and the tone is spot-on. I love me some sharply sad edges, and I admire your deftness with the real and imagined. It was mentioned in today's reviews. Thank you for sharing.
I thought about it for a couple days and can't figure it out. I thought you were talking about your kids, but maybe this is just a poem about boredom. There isn't enough linking the first and second stanza. The first is like flirting on the couch good monotony, the second is lonely by yourself boohoo monotony.
