all of all of them

Patrick Fealey

a heartbroken man dances into midnight
on the gunwales of a stranger’s boat
sucking on a bottle of grain alcohol
while sid vicious sings “my way.”
a heartbroken man awakens in the bed
of a strange woman
the floor is littered with condoms
and wrappers
he recalls she was on the boat
a heartbroken man gets out of bed at 4 p.m.
when his desire to die
is surpassed by his desire to
get the hell out of the house
a heartbroken man relents to dinner
with the strange woman
and she says, “what are we?”
the heartbroken man says, “having fun.”
the strange women doesn’t like the answer
she now looks heartbroken
the heartbroken man eats his steak and salad
while the strange woman sits in silence
a heartbroken man sleeps alone at home
and he dreams of the woman he once loved
he is with her in the backseat of a car
she has no head
her head has been erased
but she has a neck and body
a heartbroken man wakes in the morning
to find his flannel shorts are wet with semen
a heartbroken man wonders about the dream
and finally decides it was one hell of a steak
