Jesus
Kait Rokowski
He has been telling everyone we know
that he is in love with his new girlfriend
& I have never heard it with my own ears
but, I swear, he sounds like he means it.
& I am trying to be less of a liar these days
so, yes, if you must know, I'm jealous
jealous that the best we could do with our romance
was drag it out back to be shot.
It must have been a mercy kill, but I don't know.
you'd think I would because I was the one with the gun.
but I don't know,
I looked the whimpering thing in the eye & shot
& He is the Jesus of ex-boyfriends
resurrected with a whole new religion
a much better mythology than I could have given him
& I am the old book
only the story of what came before
