The Gravity of Our Complication
The gravity
Of our
Complication.
She said,
“He left me.
He said I was too
Complicated for him.”
I translated, “Maybe
His complication
Couldn’t understand
Your complication.”
It wasn’t good enough.
The playing field
Isn’t always
Obvious.
All the sides to someone
Doesn’t appear
In the immediacy
Of thinking
“Oh, I think
I could love him.” OR
“I think I love her.”
She remembered
Telling him,
“Here you are
Fiddling with
The wires
In your attic,
And I could be
‘The One'”.
And She was Dead Wrong
“The complication
Wasn’t a good fit.”
But none the less
She survived it.
