everybody sheds

really, honestly, seriously
everybody sheds--razzberry chaos



maybe it was the red
hair or brown eyes, maybe the swan's
neck, that buxom profile but i always wanted susan
to play me in the movie jack would
cast of the sandbox while in the throes of irrational
exuberance-
considering the rank of these particular
players in the overall movie worthy pantheon, maybe
it was the twelve years between susan
and tim or the graceful way she washed her arms
with lemons in the movie about atlantic city.
her characters are sexy and smart, thelma & louising
thru a maze of modern woman
history, broken love
stories, making love stories, steamy and cool and beast
as my son would say so it's kinda heartbreaking
to hear that her and tim have split, looks like
permanently they waited since
summer
to announce it so it's the first xmz in decades she
will be without her man, astrology dot com
prolly sending her the same email i got
have you been dumped for good
n i think yeah we prolly have grrl, we prolly have n even if
mutual, even if agreed upon, even if it was for the best god
i hate that platitude lonely
is something that creeps up between the green lights
and hits you with a neon blackjack in the evening sky
like the one you stood under with him
thinking you knew what, forever
