Lover To Plaintiff – Michael Marrotti

 

Each redundant

argument

rivals the

volume of a

Motorhead

concert

 

Neighbors

enjoy popcorn

as neither party

accepts blame

 

From lover

to plaintiff

garments of

clothing

confirm the

separation

carried away

in black bags

over practically

nothing

 

It’s the same

old magazine

publishing

another issue

 

I cringe at

the date of

a new release

 

There’s still

an occasional

article that

brings me joy

 

But with the way

I’m feeling now

I’ll use these

pages as

toilet paper

to clean up

the mess of

a shitty dilemma

 

I may be forced

to diversify

as I second guess

the cancellation

of my lifetime

subscription
