Seeking Someone Older Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Seeking Someone Older



Brokedown, busted, rusted AND out of gas.

'Why did she wait so long to replace it? '

She didn't know he was going to get laid off.
And trust me...
If I knew she was like that and recently divorced too,
I wouldn't have gotten involved.

'Oh...
I thought you were talking about her car? '

I thought she was too.
But she kept calling it 'Bruce'.
Until I questioned her how old Bruce was.
And then when she said 'Bruce' was in his twenties...
And 'still' acted as if he was a child.
That's when she admitted to me...
She was seeking someone older.

'And...
She did not ask you about insurance?
Or how you were covered? '
I would have been suspicious right then.'

She mentioned this after the act.
And we were not then covered at all.
