The Poet Finds His Actress
"God," he gulped, tearing down his pants, "I wanna be
the third of your five husbands--the one..."
"Oh! Honey! Yes! You!" She opened in love, in trust,
beneath him. "The one who makes the funeral arrangements."

"GIVE ME A BEER!" Tom who wants to be a painter said,
coming in and pounding his fist on the good wood of the bar.
"It's done man. We're doing it. We're getting the divorce.
Two f*****g years. I feel sentient and lean for the first time in
a year and ten months.
"Now I need to find me a girl and get down to work."

Lately, on the street, at the bank, I've been seeing guys who
look like Karl--two last week and then, today, another one.
He must be coming home soon.
