before
me lies a collage of pics
of
ancient childhoods and long lives lived
black
and white images of love once young
people,
once together, now far flung
before
me lies a collage of pics
it
glosses over hurts that time can’t fix
showin
me only times when all was right
there
are no pics of the many loveless fights
or
the the times we cursed and shouted
and
hurt each other with things unsaid
or
the times that people wished
someone
or the other was dead
before
me gathers a collage of pics
as
i see lives even now being lived
some
relationships clearly under the weather
unhappy
families struggling to hold it together
people
being miffed and feeling hurt
dreams
being ground into the dirt
perverted
fantasies being lived out in others’ lives
husbands
going fat and disenchanted wives
disillusioned
youngsters and old hearts smitten
realizations
about passions and true callings
people
speaking out and inhibitions falling
people
standing by you on your bad days
with
inane words and silences profound
and
I’m surprised at how there’s always
enough
love to go around
