The Gravity of It All
"THE GRAVITY OF IT ALL"
forty years of love
between the two
I ask him as she watches
the television
is it the sex?
is it the money?
is it the cars?
is it the fact that you erased
who you are to love
and found purpose in the
void?
no, he says.
I listened to my heart
and got everything.
I gave myself to her
and she returned herself
to me.
later that afternoon
I took a walk
I thought about all of the times
I listened to my heart
and never got anything.
I thought about all of the times
I gave myself to someone and
they gave themselves to
someone else.
naturally,
since I've bagged nothing but
cheaters, liars and the malign,
I realized this was pointless
as most of the females
in my life had been.
