Now to escape

Now to escape a faintest whiff
of fouled explanations – to see

a view without cruel stains – In
time we’ll be removed from all

those whips of narcissists – Sit
now [my table has a vacancy] –

From an uncomfortable chair I
watch this town drown in each

intrigue – listen to that babble –
a sound of troubled fish wives –

baby-talk gives up their daddy-
issues – I knew a woman whose

breasts were re-furbished for a
round sum & envy weighted all

conversations at school gates –
There are men [online] looking

up desperate housewives & too
many enjoying such attention –

My coffee cools – I will design a
way to kinder days laid for love
