she told me she broke up with her
boyfriend because the fool
started writing poetry
«It’s disgusting,» she said
«Does he write about dead bodies,
rape, and–«
«What? No, goddammit! He writes about
our hearts being lovers, mine and his,
and he says how they
call to each other at night while
we’re away and how they
wish to break out of the flesh prison
they’re shackled in
and how their waves meet and create
a new entity, new life that is meant
to be brought into the physical world. Ugh!»
«Oh… I get it.»
«Well then you get why I had
to break up with him…»
«Because he was telling you that
he wanted children,» I said
«What? No. I just told you. It’s
because he started writing poetry, dammit!»
«Oh… okay.»
