wife told me, during settlement
negotiations
for the divorce,
that she had one regret
about getting married.
and what is that,
sweetheart?
i asked as we sat
outside the courthouse.
and she said,
with a straight and honest
face, for once,
that she wished she had married
a doctor or a lawyer,
instead of me.
the alimony would have been
much greater
than what you can afford
to give.
