The Man Who Cried When He Thought About Things
like most of us,
didn’t think that much.
Not often amped, thus
seldom damp. So?
Too few words
about him? Yes
and no.

The Tumult and the Shouting Dies, The Captains and the Kings…
Drelle and Ensalore lived a Hallmark Card.
Sentiment flooded!
Until last year.
When both cheated.
The manufacturer had no category covering Backstabbing,
Though some light varieties implored a
kind of comic forgiveness.
Anyway, that and the usual syrup
totally inadequate.
Anyway 2, they’ve joined a group
dedicated to talking out personal
horrors.
She finds the fellows cute, he
the girls just so-so.

Drink Up
Murphzy bursts into tears.
“A blind dog found his own seeing eye dog.
I saw it on YouTube!"
“Now now,” counseled Bartender Arthur.
“It’s a fuckin dog-eat-dog world anyways!”
This from Stone Blind Charlie.
“That’s enough fuckin dogs!”
--Proprietor Maxine flipping the lights.
Darkness. Save for one Bud Lite sign.
Dimly saying lonely lonely lonely.

Couple of Convenience
-Smeds cleaned the apartment!
Took whole week.
-How’s it look?
-Worse.
-Clutter?
-He won’t throw anything away.
-Needs a lady.
-Funny you should say that! Lucy True
being thrown out. Her place went condo
and she can’t afford...
-Life can be cruel. Let’s turn the page.
-Let’s not?
-You can’t mean Smeds and Lucy?
-Why not? She’s one ruthless cleaner.
No sentimentality!
-His trophy for perfect attendance, Sixth Grade?
-First to go! Why you laughing?
-Smeds and Lucy!
-Hey she just moves in. Anything else is their business.
-But practically, he HAS to avert her bringing bums home.
-They’ll work it out. Who cares about all that shit?
-Maybe they’ll fall in love?
-In WHAT?
