In Any Reality

Four bedrooms
two cats
and a pool
left us so busy our reality had no focus
but it was ours.

Two kids
two jobs
two insanities later
he joined the latest movements
to escape himself

with drugs
and women
and politics
I was left behind in activism and drink
to die

to cry
and raise two kids
sideways
to grow to hate me
another generation hating the previous one
doesnt work.

I know all about in
in any reality.

Thanks Marion E for the inspiration.

Rough stuff to live, but so well expressed by you in your poem. Thanks for sharing it with us : ) Hugs

I was going to delete one or the other of these entries, for I have no idea how I got two of them, but now there are notes on both. Thank you all……on both.

This is a great poem…

Good work… volumes in a few words. I like it, though I’m sad for the pain that you suffered through those years. These are better days … Hugs, Tehachap
