it should come as no surprise
that the inflation of your ego
led to the evaporation
of my
volatile
being.

it’s funny how
your blue eyes
are less blue to me.
and oh
how your smug strut
tosses the spectrum &
dips from impressive to arrogant.

but when you counseled
“don’t do anything illegal”
baby, that’s just what I had in mind.
