Mr. Lonely Looks For Love in Garage Sales
A statuesque figure whose breasts
glint in the sun, Aphrodite
lounges in a tub of water,
a martini glass on the night stand beside her.
The garage sale owner quotes a price
and another young man strolls over
leering. Quickly
I empty my pockets,
and carry her off in my arms,
as if carrying a bride
upstairs to a honeymoon suite.
A month later I'm obsessed
with her faux marble surface,
the chips, the discoloration,
the coldness that exudes from her.
I obsess the way I did
before I divorced,
when I would have done anything
to shed myself of a woman
beautiful but terribly
flawed
