disappointment

no sunday paper in box after 1/2 mile hike
raises anger like no letter for a month
when you'd asked, that was all I had requested

no, I lie: no letter was expected
no paper, not

no paper pisses me off
no letter just confirms despair
at having spent 20 years with a man
who reads only his astrology.


(the paper man had a wreck, he answered his cell
in the hospital on IVs; i wished him well
apologized for phoning)
