2nd Marriage

I am in love with
and married to
a man who tells me
to write down the phone number
on a TV ad
while I am writing
a poem
I am in love with
and married to
a man who lies in bed
with a baseball cap
over his eyes
to block out the light
while I read Charles Bukowski poetry
and say this is the year
I'll finally be published
I am in love with
and happily married to
a man who takes a break
from putting together our new
forty dollar entertainment center
to kiss and lick and sate my cunt
I am mated for life, finally
courtesy of serendipity
or some goofy
truly benevolent goddess
paired off for the cosmic
square dance of destiny
with a man who whirls me giddy
above and beyond
each mundane disaster
sending me to sleep smiling
which is how I always
suspected it should be
