the divorce lawyer

my friend jimmy
the divorce lawyer
is over the moon
on the phone.
i've never heard him
happier.
what's up, i ask.
you sound giddy.
i'm moving to new york city,
he tells me.
it's a gold mine.
they just passed a law
allowing same
sex marriages.
i'm about to double my
income.
i can finally get that jet plane
and yacht i've been
dreaming about.
you have to come up
and visit,
i'll be buying
in Southampton.
how's june, i ask him.
perfect.
perfect.
