5 Steps to Disintegration

Step 1: It was a marriage of convenience.
When the bride kissed the Groom,
The black veil slipped:
Watch it, Groom’s come undone.

Step 2: The house is a precious gift.
My husband smiles callously.
The hypocrisy! He undulates to the sky.
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m really, really, sorry.

Step 3: The sidewalk opens up to devour everything.
Wonder if she’ll miss me.
The sidewalk sucks the color from the night.
I don’t care, I tell the dog.

Step 4: They refurbish the house,
To refurbish their souls.
Wild reds and luscious greens
Are replaced with a conservative blue.

Step 5: Shall I tell you a story?
It’s about a suitcase and a lunatic,
And how everything turned into a conservative blue.
The sidewalk swallows everything.

mon masterpiece, no?
