(Un)happily ever after
why?
why is it that you must follow me everywhere, (fill in a male name here)?
why must unmet possibilities always materialize before my eyes as living-versions of ourselves?
I am waiting for a flight at a foreign airport and see us, in our old age, purchasing fruit and beer by Gate 33
heading to a location where we’ll meet our grandchildren --so I hear you say
my older self takes a sip from that cold beer, kisses you on the cheek and rubs your ulcer-bearing belly
As you walk on voluntarily indifferent, proud
and tall
looking for today’s paper
