Green Eyed Monster
Mike Berger, Ph.D.
To her it was a one night stand.
Now she’s sober, she doesn’t know
I exist. She now has a tall Latin lover.
I could stalk and wait to approach,
but I’m afraid of rejection. I would
shrivel up and die if she laughed at me.
Here on the roof across the way I wait.
At last she and her lover come out. I
level down on him in my scope and
squeeze the trigger.
At the last second she moves to give
him a kiss. The bullet tears through
her long slim neck and lodges in his
shoulder. They both fall to the ground. .
Her lifeblood comes spurting out.
“No!”, I shout to the heavens. “No!
What have I done?” The Green-
Eyed Monster wins again..
