The Weekend
-Her monosyllables pollute
my poor brain still.
-Never embark on a long
weekend with a stranger.
-We left in icy rain.
-That's just climate. How
about the rest?
-I worked even harder on
conversation. A flop. Sex came
after, anyway.
-Glimmer of hope?
-Puppetry.
-Wash it away. All of it.
Never happened!
-Nearly there, but the gods
totally bored, so she's come
to work in my department.
-Not good! Do you two speak
of your wingless lovebird time?
-Just to guffaw.
-Don't try again!
-Inevitable.
-As in failure?
-Wouldn't want to disappoint
myself.
-Life! Grim grim life!
-You can be my biographer.
-I'll tell you what! I gather
two more alleged men, and we
go to a ballgame.
-But all we do is laugh.
-Yeah!
