Life Jackets and Legal Documents

I jumped onto the boat

with the broken engine,

holes that needed patching.

Anchorless.

I thought we'd fix things

as we went.

Sailing through life. Together.

The whole time,

you were stockpiling

nuts and bolts,

weaving life jackets

out of my old, discarded dental floss.

And then,

you invited the lawyer

on board.

I didn't agree

to

a

threesome.
