paper cup

i poured another glass
of red wine
into a paper cup

no dishes clean
and no soap to
use

i thought she’d call
tonight

it’s been three
days now
since our
lastest fight

so i got mad
a little bit
at the bar

maybe i took
my anger to
far

but she was touching
his knee
and making too
much eye contact

“Do you want to fuck him”

i yelled across the bar.

i could tell she was
embarressed and hung
her head and walked out
of the bar

i threw my glass
at him and told
him i was going
to kill him

but there was
no one there
and we weren’t
in a bar

she was gone
and i was all
alone in my
room
with a paper
cup full of
red wine.
