'your x is intelligent' timothy r g, 4/30/2008

your x is intelligent
brilliant
lovely, now, again
never as good as everyone else tells you
never as bad as you recall
never as cold as they became
never as IQ challenged as you thought
never as bothersome as they were.
an expatriate is a better x,
not prone to wander, gallivant
not prone to find another lover,
the one 'in the stars' or 'god's right person'
for them
-don't you love the phrase
'that right person?'
-every person before they're not that person
they are that one person for you
then,
they are the x.
