So here’s the thing:
I’m terrified to death
That one day,
utterly unbeknownst to me,
you just get up
take the car keys
open the door
step outside
close the door
and disappear
I run to the window and barely catch a glimpse of the rear lights
vanishing about the corner
and in time I find someone new,
a real beefcake,
and I feel attracted to him
and want to be his woman
and he wants me
and we get together
and are happy
so that at the right moment,
when I realize this could be the one,
I press my cheek on his massive pectoral
and remember you
and all the work dissolves into Saharan wind
