Indifferent

a syllable count poem with 8-8-3 syllables/stanza

Waiting upstairs, for wife to leave
quietly down the banister,
heart racing

Her car revving in the driveway
backwards rolling, to the main street,
blue exhaust

Into her private toiletries,
searching fingers, skimming treasures,
red lipstick

Husband is a proud transvestite,
hooked on daytime festivities,
partying

Can people ever truly love,
while hiding what they really are,
indifferent...
