same old story

A Poem by Colette
"

lives move on--except for mine

"

 

i light my peach cigar
walk my black cat on a lease
watch the dogs pass by
the birds fly, and
 
i stare at the sky
 
ex’s everywhere
enough to make a quad in a day, but
not the one
whose girl just gave birth
 
yes, my tits are still
magnificent
yes, i still taste
sweet
 
so i’m told
 
yes, i still have the stroke
of a genius
yes, i’m still
single
 
everyone is doing the married game
the mating game
the i’ll commit to anyone but you
tournament
 
while i got the hate mails
listened to the songs
he used to play for me
picked up adam & eve, and
 
drove away
 
cupic & psyche went to hell
and back
george had a day in the life
and me...
 
i still wade in purgatory

I like this poem very much - like the sense of this is the way things are - no apology or explanation necessary - and why the f**k do you ask me! haha I happen to be the first one to be divorced in a good group of women that half of would like to be divorced.... so I am the envy and the hated and the example the problem and the cure - and I will not apologize for this either. This made me say atta girl!!!!
