married and alone, some of us are
seeing life through one pair,
paying for two might be cheaper
but it is not better...
most unions are deceptive, they say
whoever they may be...
we take our lives seriously
as best we can but no really alone,
episodes of something we watch
chat with AI occasionally too
or someone live on smart phone,
never ever to a neighbor not known.
desperate, we have not become
at least not yet we suppose
looking out the window for hours
waiting for the setting sun to
arc along our roof faster than it is,
riddles plague our household
wondering what might go wrong,
mind puzzles forge our thinking
when sober and alert, wondering
when the end will be, pasting over
the feeling of being one on one.
