Sugar Mama and the Wife, a poem

While my elbows are deep in crap

and adult diapers....

He is complimenting her on

her beauty,Sunny disposition and

pretty smile....

While I am washing the fifth load of

soiled laundry...

They send each other hearts

and giggles....

While I am cleaning up vomit and

trying to get the urine smell out

of the mattress.....

They send each other

inspirational quotes....

While the unpaid bills are

piling up....

She offers to buy him an

airline ticket

to take him away....

While I am spent and

have nothing left to give....

He calls and asks her

how her day was and

she compliments him

on his sensitivity.

Dedicated to my dear friend. D.D. who after decades of marriage finds herself divorced because of the Internets.

Steadfast logic

Tenacity

she speaks

Is what breaks down

the biggest barriers

of Logic.

Arguments

precariously perched

on one point

Will defy the statement

of truth.

The standard by

which all is measured.

Destroyed by

clawing and cloying

habit of pernicious

positivity.

Spoken like a

trooper.

Emotion tries to peak

through the door

but none of that allowed

in these halls of

black & white.

Illogical thought

process persists

to dissuade you

of integrity of  the mind.

The Desolate Field

The Desolate Field
by William Carlos Williams
[from Sour Grapes (1921)]

Vast and grey, the sky
is a simulacrum
to all but him whose days
are vast and grey and—
In the tall, dried grasses
a goat stirs
with nozzle searching the ground.
—my head is in the air
but who am I . . ?
And amazed my heart leaps
at the thought of love
vast and grey
yearning silently over me.

“Waking Dream”

Hovering

on the edge of eternity

wakeful movements through

time & space.

Breathing deeply dimensions

of

different lifetimes

not

knowing when

it will end.

Pointlessly perfecting plans

elliptical cycles unseen

spinning regardless of you

till one day

no more.

Poof!

Its gone.

As above so below.

You become it....

diving into your deep blue

cobalt dreams.

devising plans

of cyan seas and fertile trees.

lost in the vortex of

tumultuous waves

emotional sighs

brought to flatline

and back....

"The Worst Kind"...given birth to a poem

The Worst Kind

Its ok

Hubby's on the blink.

She promises you

what you knead.

This insidious carrot-dangler

lures you deeper and deeper into

her crawdaddy world

with her crawdaddy charms and

crawdaddy wiles.

Whispering sweet nothings.

Making you Believe

that it's ok

to break

your principles

your values.

It's ok

to break the rules.

Shhhhhh, don't worry.

A thousand little betrayals

at her lacquered fingertips

to help crumble your foundation.

You jump through hoops on demand

because she is special.

You lurk in corners and cars

chatting up your

innermost thoughts and dreams.

Through cyberspace you feel her pain

commiserate and cry.

She paints a pretty picture.

This carrot-dangler takes your hand

in her crawdaddy claw and
leads you to ruin.

Smiling sweetly all the while.

You've become an excellent

hoop jumper.

This internet fornication dance

intoxicating

dangerous.

This sweet carrot-dangler

setting her sights

waiting

until you are ripe enough

to spring the trap.

But then its too late, my dear.

You've been caught,

betrayed and

spit out.
