I've made a substantial contribution
to the reasons behind our separation;
you had no reason to know that my
punishment was more important to
me than was our marriage in order
to fulfill a promise made years ago.

I cannot afford the price you've
place on our marriage; I cannot
deny my continued diversions
or that I'll be yours forever.;
you'll never know what drives me
as I never have understood myself.

our cat sat on a fence post
deciding which way to jump;
one way was food and the
other way was a female cat;
he chose the female thinking
if she didn't satisfy him then
he would simply eat later.

in comes "the group" from
their third shift jobs,
merry and loud;
I wondered where they worked
to be in this kind of a mood;
I heard them talk of foster parents
and wanted some myself...
recording my thoughts on paper,
daring not to forget the happiness I sought,
finding out later it was the individual
who made himself happy
not the sets of circumstances.

the wait in line gets longer
it's not even a bank...
fast foods are longer
when you are standing than
when sitting for one's food.

I'll never allow myself to miss her
that would make her feel too good,
putting me in the needing role;
I prefer to keep her off balance
having her needing me more.

you came too close
to the truth yesterday,
so now I'll have to
find another excuse.

her time came in March
and after waiting two decades
decided to make the most of it;
it ended in divorce and not
even the man with whom she
spent the weekend wanted her.

was it justice or just a smart
lawyer that got you off my back?
and if our attraction is lethal
who will be the first to die?
we will only part company
when finished with each other.

together we form a good team
apart an even better one...
NASA can have teamwork
we want individuality.

black and white
is not the issue
as is our age
and who will
see us in public.
February 1988
12.
once in a while
we learn the truth
realizing ignorance
is more suitable.
February 1988
you presuppose I love you
more than another...
love has nothing to do
with what we shared.
