or a dog,
or cat, or god forbid
another soul mate slash wife.
i don't even want a plant
that needs attention.
all that watering and turning
it towards the sun
is exhausting.
i can hardly buy a head
of lettuce without
worrying when it
will go brown.
i want to toss it in the can
as soon as i leave
the store.
even a goldfish
right now
would make me rub my
hands together nervously
wondering
which day would
i find him or her floating
on the top.
the responsibility for others
is too great
for me
at this point in my life.
