Merde

jo�


Though
I
am not materialistic
you
will find
my ephemera
is distributed
in cast off boxes
from various possessions

The
utmost
important
documentation
of my life
scattered
in answering machine boxes (1981-82)

marriage vows
hand penned
by
you
in my father's wheel barrow
in the garage

from the dash of the
suBaru
that
I bought
with the
trade in of
my - his
mini

How
apropos
non?

You proposed
on the roof
of the parking garage

I have the documentation
of all
the
promises
you broke

Big deal

Only to
me

And
perhaps
one day
to our child
she may
come back
and
ask

What you took
with those promises
can never be obtained
through
any court of law

I
pray for
karma
