You are depressed. Of course no woman has ever made you happy.

In memory of your feelings, I thought
about them, your then unconscious
passive-aggressive aggression, you know,
I'd have loved you more if you'd been
married and unmarried, I've forgotten
all my characters. The wall to wall is
more than that: jump rope through
the floor and into the TV in the apt. below,
trying to be healthy.
