Guilt and Regret
46.
look,
you didn't know you married a lesbian
to be fair, your husband didn't, either.
only with the freedom of a modem
and a 56Kbs baud rate
and the phone bill mounting up
did he realise he was female
and once that door was opened
there was no closing it
like an inward door
with the weight of the sea behind it
it could never be closed again
and like the sea
he became one with the tides
while you changed the locks on the doors
and threw his shit out of the window
a stage show for the fold of Upper Penn
that lived on in your dreams
