i was married for
27 days
26 nights
she was a lovely lady
that i met while
stealiing books
from a flea market
in the middle of a
triple digit
heatwave on the west
coast of florida
she was a narcoleptic
skitzophrenic nymphomaniac
she stole the month of february
from me
on a leap year no less
things were great through
the first four dates
but then she’d start
falling asleep while
i was climbing in
then she’d yell
rape when her
meds kicked off
did i mention we were
perpetually broke and
her parents didn’t approve
of our one month fling
from the start
and it was probably my
fault the night
she fell asleep
at their anniversary
party – 50 years
and she passed out
in her soup
but i think in some
way she was my soul
mate -
but it’s cheaper, safer and
easier just to masterbate.
