Another Heartbroken Fool

A poem of betrayal

I met a woman who said
That she’d divorced her husband
After twenty-two years
And four children
Moved out
And married
Her girlfriend

She’d hired
A real estate developer
To design
A new house
For her
And her wife
Because
She said
Two women
Needed more
Closet space

I’ll never forget
The plastic
Surgery
Smile
And bleached
Make-up caked
Eyes
That laughed
So
Loud
And shrill
When she said

He never knew
What
Hit him
