The Better Half

- Kevin Cahill

Nowadays our polygamous evenings arrive out of no one:

Sony sustains us with dissociate­d reruns of air-brushed booty and emancipate­d nobodies in the nude.

A bare-all after midnight candlelit with housewarmi­ng women wearing snow, and feeding us a dirt-cheap honey we give nothing for…We thumb away their voices

as the reflection­s snow like God over Danaë. Betrothed remotes we share our lives with now.
