New Paragraph
When an ex husband finds his irrelevance
at the bottom of his thousandth cigarette,
He tells you he’s praying for your soul.
He’s still plying away
Gotta squeeze through a crack.
This old mans charging through digital words create a magical narrative
Where the art falls flat. Sideways perhaps.
When an ex husband finds himself typing I hope you find happiness
He conveys his deepest desire
To cancel it.
And with every flag pointing north, he will claim they face south.
How? He cries
Can truth exist without my permission?
He circumnavigates the globe hunting new wife material,
gormandizing every potential,
refusing to grasp
satiation escapes greed
and alludes control.
An unhappiness goblin faster than any criminal.
