Why were any of my ex-husbands there?
being critical assholes but also being
supposedly supportive and friendly and
pretending like we still had viable relationships
so weird to be helped and tripped at the same moment.
I was rightly reserved and suspicious of them
while others in the dream swarmed, alternately critical
and 'helpful' in their advice and comments,
supposedly packing and such, but really, just making a bigger mess
than was already going on in
the usual general chaos of a home in the stages of moving.
When Mom showed up with Dad in tow,
her mouth running along the same old lines it always did,
I had to wake up in self defense.
Not listening to that shit any more either!
This is happening whether y'all like it or not.
Who asked your opinion and advice anyway,
especially the deceased?
Beat it. Life is for the living.
Though with some of the living, it's hard to tell they are.
