The Web Poetry Corner - Brbadpenny - Romance At The Speed Of Reverse

Romance At The Speed Of Reverse

by

Brbadpenny

A Romance Novel but with a twist. The Author doesn't believe that even I have circus relations.
So they'll applaud, laughing and pointing. Standing in the alley. Call me a cab. I think I better leave.
These people are finally realizing that there's nothing to realize at all. And then there's you.
With your locket and your lack of committment.
Glance at me and expect me to walk over.
I can hear them whispering, hear them snickering behind
their smiles.
"He would have been the proud grateful father to that
other guy's child."

The Ivor burns at midnight. The owner doesn't believe that even I have been seen staggering down the aisles.
So they'll call the Fire Department and stare.
Keep their distance. Trying helplessly not to look guilty.
Call me a cab. I really can't stay here any longer.
The tension and the static finally realizes that there's nothing to realize at all. And then there's you.
With a matchbook and a dalmation.
The promises, the lies, the humiliation.
See the diseased Con Edison man cough loudly.
The old women scatter off in different directions.
Hear a voice speaking at me from behind.
"Didn't you used to go with that girl for a while?"
"Yes and I could have been the proud grateful father to that
other guys child."..
