tells me about her ex-husband,
the one
she's living with now
to get
the house
and money.
the will has been
rewritten
a half dozen times
as she comes and goes
in and out of his life.
tired of revision, he
writes the last one in pencil.
betrayal, forgiveness,
rinse and repeat
again and again.
the maid
whispers to me,
he has the big C, it not
good.
she his nurse now.
i nod.
it's a shame, it really is.
but i admire her
her patience and tenacity.
it's to be admired
it's to be admired
with a big payday
up ahead.
