"Fools"

Khatoon Hazara ||| 7.14.18

dirty laundry litter the floor

im not sure if im that into you any more

but it doesnt matter, see, ive learned a lesson in my life

even if i wanted to, pleaded with god

id never get you out of my mind

but honey

darling

baby

dear, ive always only wanted you 

here

and wrap your gentle arms around me

im not the one going crazy

hunt me down with bows and arrows

i feel

in my marrow, we will 

be.

absolutely.

[John the Baptist]

It's interesting the way the poem starts out, then veers suddenly to a new attitude after the first two lines. The speaker has apparently learned the great lesson of acceptance, the ability to embrace another despite faults. Then again, one wonders if this tolerance will persist ten years from now. A revealing look at the way it is between couples. Well done. All it needs is a spell check on the 3rd word of line 1.
