Toned Down
We were right
the bastard had left the country
We watched his newspapers pile
up outside in mildew words blurred
and peered inside the windows blank
blank living room - one bottle of wine,
just one unopened and we wanted
to spitefully eat the food left for
him on the doorstep, from dear Ashley,
It might not change your life, but it
could change your day, she said,
and I said lets get out of here, so
full of wondering about our names,
where could they take us now?
