The poet woke from his world
Of creation
To the heavy murmuring of
His spouse
Who performs lately in constant
Monologues
About her fate late in life
She calls undeserved.
Indeed the poet agrees
But little he can do other
Than support her toward
Her expenses
Battle with rising inflation
Having fallen on hard times.
The poet still describes his
Reflections
His spouse considers useless
But then he takes her antics
With a generous pinch of
Salt.
Yet verbal anger
Has driven his spouse
To subscribe mentally
To violence
Enjoying movies about
Al Capone.
Her behaviour escalates
Toward a serious split
Also in reality
She stated on many occasions.
And what about tomorrow?
Verbal violence to spiral?
