signing the divorce document

she said,
as she signed the divorce
papers,
looking up
at me,
and snarling.
i wish,
i wish, she said,
grumbling,
that i had married a lawyer
or a doctor,
or someone like Elon
Musk, or
Bill Gates,
instead of you.
why, i ask her.
because of the love and
affection they would
give you?
no, no.
because then the alimony
would be a lot
more
than what you can give
me with your lame
occupation.
i was a fool to hitch my
wagon
to the likes of you.
