DD Poem - A Divorced Dad Pardons a Cockroach

A Divorced Dad Pardons a Cockroach

He’s home.

Counted couples on the train chugging

Home.

From the newly-minted lovers to the

Barely patient partners pressed together,

Silent.  Like a wall of night. Looking outward.

Teeth gritted, bobbing with the rails.

He can’t help but feel like he’s being humored,

Cosmically. The scuffed, metal doors open, a bucket seat becomes

Available.   These couples spy his infirmity. He is

Their cautionary tale.

Home.

And all his burden lifts:

Clothes scuttle. He creeps to

The bathroom, faces his

Toothpaste-accented reflection.

Then, from the corner of the shower tile,

Almost from out of sight,

A thin, brown roach hugs the wall.

He sighs.  Leans close, whispers to the creature:

Tonight, I wish you peace.  Come tomorrow,

We’ll war again.   He taps off the lights,

Leaves him to his gestures.
