separate entrances

nearly half
of the separated
women
in the neighborhood
have their husbands
still living in the basement.
it's a trend,
a thing these days.
no one can afford to get
divorced.
lawyers, of course.
it's all about health insurance,
kids and dogs.
all the things that
tie us together.
financial strings.
love is over, but they
share the kitchen and
the laundry room.
they split a pizza
when a show is on.
