404

Sylvia is serious about getting married
to her husband, not me
and running away to an island
only they know about
regardless of how many people
they’ll see
only they
she will know what it means

home in the ruins
sex in the ruins
and then what
a home and a mailbox
a way to live life alive

it’s not mundane; the mundane is
electric for Sylvia
she eats everything quickly
hates the weather
loves a hat with flowers

Sylvia is getting married to my friend
I’m getting drunk
