always
i have felt
that a woman
who cannot
Live
without a
man is
(Fill in the Blank)
but
why does
She
anger me so
i mean RealTrue
Anger
do i be-
Grudge
the hours
(the Many hours)
spent with her
FourHundredThirtyOne
pages of
Whining
i mean RealTrue
Whining
or
is it
could it
possibly
be
i am
Jealous
no
Envious
(Envy being the greater sin)
not of her
FourHundredThirtyOne
published pages, nor her
OneHundredFiftyTwo
published books, nor even her
ability to publish phrases like
“clouds the color of poorly washed cook pots”
but of her
not one, but
Two
SuccessfulMarriages
TWO
no
that can’t be
it cannot be
that i would
Envy
those
besides
just what
is a
SuccessfulMarriage
anyway
i mean a RealTrue
SuccessfulMarriage
is it one that doesn’t
end in Divorce
one that doesn’t
end in Suicide or Murder
(or Both)
or
does a
SuccessfulMarriage
simply never
End
at all
no
i prefer
GlitterGlue
i understand
GlitterGlue
GlitterGlue
makes sense
to me
GlitterGlue
especially
Blue
GlitterGlue
makes imminently more
Sense
to me
