You're the Champix* I wash down
with a pharmacopia of substitutes
for microgram living.
So sing A Spoonful of Sugar
as our colostomy bag of love overflows!
We dribble what's left along cappuccino strip,
those erstwhile domains of skinny lattes.
Lovers flee to the park, grateful only when
we part alfresco at the bus terminal.
Without you here, my flannelette pyjamas
wear at the knees from watching too much tv.
At night, the pill box by my bedside beckons
and promises to make the unbearable loss
a mild side effect of renal failure.
Our divergent paths are crisscrossed histories
spattered with caustic urine and imploded stones.
Residual answers seep down the stent
collecting in pools of questions
that neither of us are willing to ask.
