\n To Destroy, First Build\u00a0\u00a0(The Construction of Human Dissolution)
steely Ironies begin as the end nears, leather torn by fabric,
when humans begin the separation protocol, when first
we intend to dissolve, we need construct, *****., barriers
so true, good fences make good neighbors...no. great enemies.
the invisible ones, freight train tracks running down the middle
of the bed, new lands of \u201chis side, her side,\u201d shut your light off!
he makes a joke, she don\u2019t turn her head, maybe she, offers instead
a secret grimace, thinking inside too little late, bothering/thinking
go write your breakup poetry, that\u2019ll keep you truly invested and
ocupado, lock door\u2019d, why is my toothbrush in a moving van, that I didn\u2019t hire, no destination home, notes passed via refrigerator door, what was\u00a0\u00a0that \u201chave children chatter?\u201d months+words recent, huh?
just months ago, not confused, don\u2019t touch his diet drink! man-o-man,
thank god we didn\u2019t do a vaca drive up the West Coast, hanging with relatives in SF, LA not your town, you hate tinsel and pretense. BS.
arguing when we need to add gas, a wonderful double entendre, when was the end of detente, we abrogate the Treaty of Versailles, another place we won\u2019t ever get to go-gether, that just makes me sadly happier, and
I think; now I understand why he always booked us seats on airplanes separated\u00a0\u00a0by the aisle, no head upon his shoulder, in my lap, holding hands needs disinfectant, social distancing solves many problems now,
need\u00a0now, no asking how, to conceive destroy, imagine concrete:
first you must build, it\u2019s how one does it, human dissolution requires work, malice aforethought, we both master builders, see yeah,\u00a0\u00a0that\u2019s a joke, a good one too...let\u2019s laugh not together at us, our edifice crumbles
