Last Word


After dish wars -
scrawled notes left in permanent ink
on the note board -
a subtle vendetta
played out at the expense
of my milk
(left out too long
to rot then placed quietly back
in the fridge) -
CD's scratched
at the beginning
of the solo on his favorite
song -
bills left unpaid in each other's names -
my credit card stolen and used
to order seventeen pounds
of cat food -

I sit the last morning
before moving out --
naked --
smearing
my ass on his favorite chair --
downloading scat porn --
bukakke -- best
iality --
I save the worst
for his screen saver --
and pause --
savor the moment and compose
inflammatory anti
governmental propaganda
and send it to his mother
from his e-mail account.
The good old days
were never so good
as now.
