business is booming

i see that the lawyer across
the street
where the big houses are,
has a new
Mercedes Benz.
black with tinted windows.
he's a divorce lawyer.
i wave to him
when i see him come out
of the house
with his new girlfriend
a buxom blonde,
with giant earrings.
she's wearing a lone ranger
mask over her eyes.
how's it going, Marvin,
i yell out.
great he says.
after the covid lock down
business is booming.
are you good, need my help?
nah, i'm good.
very good. i hold up my
hand to show
him my ringless finger.
come on, he laughs.
you're taking food out of
my mouth.
you're overdue for another
one.
i give him the one finger
salute,
which makes him laugh
even harder.
that Marvin!
