we have a goat now

one of her husbands
calls you late at night and says
how would you
like it if I did this to your wife.
but I don't have a wife
I tell him.
I shake her shoulder to wake her up.
do you know
who this is I ask,
holding the lit phone in the darkness
of the bedroom.
oh, that's stan, my husband.
we're not officially divorced yet.
he still loves me.
he wants me back, he's at home
watching the cats
and dogs. we have a goat now too,
did I tell you that?
goats make very nice pets,
if you didn't know.
he's so sweet.
they cry like little babies.
