dirty laundry

dirty laundry

i air our dirty laundry in the sun
of someone else's yard and he says
your devotion was an obligation
was your inability to see yourself

your failed potential disappoints us
all or most but she gives you credit
for the fishing trips and drawing him
into the adult conversations

i stopped listening when you arrived
in someone else's car anyway
i cannot hear you over the roar
of her playdoh monsters
