Lord Double Windsor
Loosens the noose
Orders a drink
And makes no eye contact
With his dressed for laundry day
Lady fair
This is the picture
Of Barbie and Ken
After the
Fall of
The dream
House at Malibu
Staggering
With lack
Of luster
Barbie smokes
And tries to recall
Why
She loves him
Small talking Ken
Laughs with the barkeep
Barbie titters
sharing
and not
This tired joke
And he’s coming to
The same conclusion
He’s sick
Of the laughter
And drowns it
With whiskey
And whiskey
And she’s playing
With the coaster
Sipping at her wine
Thinking
About broken promises
Infidelities
And conflicts of interest
This is the beginning
Of the closing chapter
In a cheap romance
With Fabio dead
On the cover
When we reach the end
The room will be dark
And someone
will be crying
