Ugly Lovers

Plump couple,
next to me,
with rosy cheeks,
and beady eyes,
and the man looked
into the woman's eyes,
and said,
"Darling, I want to
spend the rest
of my mortal
life
with you."
Kinda strange how
the world
seems to work sometimes.
Plump couple
next to me
pledging their love
to each other,
and I'm
just sitting there,
reading like
I can't hear,
or see,
and conveying
no emotion,
like I'm not
breathing,
or feeling jealous.
And they
clasped their piggy
paws together,
and ordered
their sandwich
up at the cash
register,
and the whole time,
he's telling her
how beautiful
she is,
even though
it's plain to see,
she's far
from it.
Kinda strange how
the world
seems to work sometimes.
And they ate
their sandwich,
or, more like,
they stuffed
it into each other's faces,
and I'm just sitting there,
reading like
I can't hear,
or see,
and conveying
no emotion,
like I'm not
breathing,
or feeling jealous.
And they're done
with their meal,
and they get up
and walk outside
into the natural
limelight.
And, the woman smiles,
and turns her piggy
face
up towards her
lover,
while they stand,
facing each other
in the middle
of the street,
and I'm just sitting there,
reading like
I can't hear,
or see,
and conveying
no emotion,
like I'm not breathing,
or feeling jealous,
when they both
get struck by a car.
