Common Tale
lazy eye summer,
can’t see what’s left,
can’t see what’s right,
bride’s fly in fighting formation patterns,
white dresses spoil in last heat of sun,
the grooms just a broom frozen in margarita friendly
submersion for all the mistress to drink down with
curse words reserved since last kiss apology,
hotel is empty, maids all clocked out
the television is still sing sung sitcoming
making light of realities displeasures
another mans trash is another mans treasure
x marked on personal ad map
photo is Greek to shy voyeurs
tricked by notion of rejection
fantasizing in mothers basements
better men have come and gone
leaving for wedding cake
leaving last goodbye kiss gift
nonreturnable
no recipet for the blues
a ring promised
a ring giveth
two different fingers
two different promises
two different outcomes
a lie
a vow
two tears
opposite in emotion
can’t see whats left
can’t see whats right
two drunks
same night
a man sighs in
guilty relief.
