The Only Dance

Eye Ever Had

w/ M(eye) X 2nd Husband

was Awkward At Best —

(We weren’t even married yet)

Appearing In Public

@ The Barrington Lions Hall

Hosted By The RCMP

@ Xmiss Time

w/  Me In The Dress of Midnight

(what did Eye ever do w/ That

Clingy Butt Loose Item of Black

Embossed w/ Drips & Globs

of Silver?)

The Floor Seemed 2 Bounce

& Eye Felt Fat —

Was Eye?

Eye Did Wear A Size 13 Pink Chiffon

when We were mistakenly married

August 14, 2004

@ a ceremony which was more than

Awkward —

everyone left the reception

@ Dr Blair’s Office

for Me to clean up

like a bad dream

— there was no honeymoon —

(supposedly because Dr Blair

was recovering from back surgery

2 weeks prior)

& Eye went along w/ All

This Bullshit —

riding on a horse The Next Morning

w/ M(eye) Attractive 2nd Cousin

from Jacksonville, Florida

Who must have wondered

What Was Wrong.
