The Cutter and Mr Indifference

she was granite jealous
sick of it all 
his drifting eye
yellowing indifference
the secretive calls
so while he slumbered 
she cut it off

she cut it off
with a giggling swipe
like a rabid cat
in a back-alley fight 
but come morning 
nothing had changed
he hadn't noticed 
one blasted thing
the new flowered blouse
the whitened teeth
fresh pot of coffee
clumps of hair in the sink
she cut it off 
and 
dyed...it
all
for
the
love
of
Mr.Indifference

You got me - I thought for sure the jewels were severed! This is off the wall fun to me. Your choice of words in some cases is ultra interesting. A real eye opener, Anthony ... CayCay
