She’s Dumped Me

She’s dumped me –
dumped me
dumped me
dumped me.
I’m flummoxed and gazumped,
bumped – I fly
off the handle, like a – fly,
fly to the candle
mad as a moth.
I froth like boiling broth.
My faith is that of a thief,
is that of death.
The only thing I cannot do is laugh.
She’s dumped me.
I knew it – but now I know it.
It’s been done before – I don’t know how to do it.
She’s dumped me –

She’s dumped me –
dumped me
dumped me
dumped me.
I’m bemused and stumped,
mugwumped – I cry
but hide it well, and I cry
that all is well –
happy as froth
I act the berated thief
all my candicacy in my breath
The only thing I cannot do is laugh.
She’s dumped me.
I guessed it, now I know it –
I pretend my bust faith is secure and safe –
she’s dumped me.
