After driving a new lady home
and fucking her in the driveway
where her husband and eight-year-old
slept inside, after hearing horror stories
of depression and eating disorders,
I drove home lonely
wondering why lilies open and close
and why
flies only live for a day or two
and why
sleeping with your feet pointing
in a certain direction
can really change your overall
satisfaction with life
and why
the most obedient breeds of dogs
are bred to be
fighters.
