Magenta
You cannot remarry in today’s world;
the condition is guaranteed to youth,
who ooze love, but I have to say 
what I feel (leaving me as useless
as a tick on a slow moving hound dog)
regarding wicker, or Hollingsworth manor,
its successes, the girl’s promiscuity.
Is a vow to a child worth as much as
the widow wants? We worry cease-
lessy about BIG DADDY. Who is the man 
in seersucker? Who is his daughter?
The ring will live up to the South,
to our failures for friendship and 
coalescing back-stories. Standing up
against ancestry (he’s marrying a woman
with red hair): the pantsuit of the jungle.
He will marry on the lanai, though—
the sun of Miami cannot bear it—
fortune smiles on backyard, and he
will water the grass (like a family
would have before the war). She and I
may question this action, after all
that hose dance brings up a lot
of childhood memories—when did
it not? (Why is everyone talking like
Burl Ives?) When room for comparison
is not left, you force yourself toward
extremes, eyeing the color wheel,
objecting against our best chances to
win the election. I hate that feeling,
I just hate it, and I hate the color magenta.
