the adjustment period

you can
always tell the newly
divorced men
in the neighborhood.
they look
sad and bewildered
as they carry
in their leftover
furniture.
it's college all over
again,
but they have a nice
car.
they're not quite
ready to wave
and make new friends.
no Christmas
decorations will go up,
no wreathe on the door.
you'll see their
recycling bin full of
bottles though.
