Gotcha
What going on here?
It looks as if you have something to share.
Hello?
Do you not hear
the words coming from my mouth?
Introduce me to your friend-
go ahead and tell her I'm your spouse.
What's wrong? Cat got your tongue?
How about I make this easy for you so you'll feel less compelled to run?
This is no surprise to me.
You see, I already knew.
What's really going to trip you out is that before meeting you-
That lady seated there
Was my Boo.
When you met in the cell phone store line and exchanged numbers
That was orchestrated by none other
She was working undercover trying to feel you out
Deciding if you were worth bringing into the fold
or whether to leave you without
The opportunity of your life
A chance to be with two alluring women
One mistress and one wife
I'm tired of playing things straight
But I agreed to wait
Let you get to know one another
Go on a few dates
But unfortunately, it doesn't look like you'll be invited
Feelings of attraction for you are unrequited
She simply wants me
And I hadn't hoped for this to be
But you don't really do it for me either
So I guess I'd have to say
your choices went from a possible two
to neither
Come on sweetie,
let's go.
Since you already had your dinner
we'll catch a show.
Hey, no hard feelings of course.
Oh,
and first thing Monday morning
I'm filing for divorce.

He sits close by,
eyes flickering as each second passes.
I say not a word waiting for that lie.

The Arms of a Stranger:
Dark stars hide behind
misty moon midnight.
Smell the skin riding the breeze
Sticky 100-degree rain
by Cori Anders
You are only hurting yourself.
It was greed - But for what?
For flesh, for comfort, for acknowledgment?
We all fall into those
Insanity, pure and simple.
Boredom, yes.
Did I need so badly to feel loved?
Why did I not just read a book,
or go to sleep
Who do you fool when you cheat
Nobody but yourself
With ruses and tricks to beat
The honest for top shelf
What is the price
