She came, she saw, she conquered, my ex-wife,
humans are funny creatures, cold and cruel,
exactly as I am in this poem,
cold and cruel, the mirror of truth tables,
answer to no one the facts of the case,
married, separated, and soon divorced,
exactly as we we in the real world,
she let me think I was a happy man,
humans are funny creatures, cold and cruel,
exactly as I am in this poem,
she made me choose between my cats and her,
answer to no one the facts of the case,
wives steal your last name and leave you for dead,
she was Sandy Sanford before we met,
humans are funny creatures, cold and cruel,
exactly as I am in this poem,
cold and cruel, in the right measure, to be
ordinary, to be kind, to witness
normal people act horribly, they make
quick decisions without any regrets,
under the auspices of false hardship,
egos get in the way of love, struggle,
resolve to torture to the bitter end,
egos get in the way of memory,
demented people choose to fall in love,
murder my soul, faith in humanity,
yes, I trust no one, not ever again,
egos get in the way, find new lovers,
xenophobic Americans speak lies,
witness the immigrant American,
if I say I am otherwise, I lie,
figure out how to let go of the past,
exactly as I am in this poem.
