BOB RIXON

She Said

You're not right for me,

you wallow in your emotions,

express a perverse desire to die

& be reincarnated as a frog

copulating beneath a full moon.

I want a platonic relationship

like the one I had with my husband

until that emaciated tramp

spread her skinny legs for him

on his bowling night,

that was five years ago & I'm still

waiting for him to come to his senses.
