one of the boys April 20, 2012


I could not make out anything

 in the picture she sent me

until I lightened it and

saw her in a room full of men,

 immediately assuming something

 I should not have assumed,

 stirring up in me Shakespeare's

Green Eyed beast,

she telling me she wanted

 to share a photo of her and her friends,

while I tried to make out who was whom.

and which one would stay behind

 when the rest of them left

 or maybe more than one,

 or maybe even all of them

 while I -- a cuckhold -- watched

from a distance,

 all of this manufactured

in my perverted mind,

 wishing I could be one of them,

wishing I might see myself

in a dark corner of her apartment,

 just one of the boys.
