He stammers, stumbles forward
She catches, mid-sentence
Both fall, the weight too much
A three-way with the floor
Already she decides he will leave
A blue-green sort of pain
Buys a jar of hair dye
Prays she won’t open it
Already he decides she will leave
The taste of cheap fat and sugar
For 3 months and a half
Cleans the spoons at home
A universe yawns
Everything at once and then silent
They pick themselves off the floor
Slowly at first, like lint
Collecting in unknown crevices
Discovered in un-kept time
A janitor will mop up the remainder
Not knowing who or what or why
