Wednesday


It was a Wednesday
Her house was filthy 
She could smell the nasty rotten okras from her dead garden
Smelly and moldy
She cleaned everything up
Put on her favorite dress
Plucked the only flowers alive 
A crown made of daisies was placed on her head.

She took her step out confidently 
Her goal was to impress her neighbor
Who has an amazing garden she had always been jealous of
Which happened to be her ex-husband
The man she would be meeting at twelve in the divorce trial the next day

She stayed calm and vivacious
Walking with her empty fruit basket to go to the market
Until suddenly the rain started to fall
And ruined her makeup
And he saw
She was embarrassed because no matter how hard she tries
She can never prove to him that she is better off without him
Nope, she couldn't hide her miserableness
She needed him to support her everyday.
