i flattened out
with a hammer
stuck in the air vent in the floor.
it costs 800 dollars,
size twelve.
silver.
i banged it flat against the
laundry room floor
one day
after catching the ex cheating
and lying again
about her married boyfriend.
carefully, i find a pair
of needle nose pliers
and pull the ring out of the vent
before it slips into
the black abyss of the hvac system.
maybe i could sell it,
or drill a hole in it
and make a nice necklace
for some unsuspecting
new soul mate.
or maybe i could skip it
across the lake
like the last wedding ring,
and see if i can get seven skips
this time.
