When You Are Unattached
When you are unattached you can walk around a supermarket
eyeing up the cashiers – imagining what it would be like
to fall in love with all of them – one-by-one, picturing
the realities.
What are their personalities? The black one with the trendy hair –
What political beliefs do they hold?
And should you pledge your heart to one in particular
but then find yourself, at a quarter past midnight,
all by yourself in the dark
feeling affection for another
well it really doesn’t matter. It isn’t really adultery.
It’s all imaginary; fanciful.
Harmless, even.
Which should make me happy, I suppose.
