We were falling apart,
they were showering together.
We were falling apart,
he was practicing golf swings
at dawn.
We were falling apart,
I was staring at her naked body
through the window
and imagining...
We were falling apart,
you were remembering,
and
doing your own
imagining.
We were falling apart,
they were having a
sunday morning yard sale,
getting rid
of all the extraneous
shit.
We were falling apart,
they were moving out,
never knowing our names
and we never knowing their's.
We were falling apart.
It was spring,
the dog was sick,
then the beautiful neighbors
next store to us
were gone
for forever.
Every once in a while
we'd stare at each other
wondering
where they had gone
and
how long
this could go on.
