Two Thousand and Three

My years grow larger, faster
after the
age of twenty one, insurance
dropped
lower
quicker, even after my
fender
bender.
On that twenty first day
Twenty
two
two thousand and two, a year
unsuccessful
unambitious,
Mostly that is.
By the end 
I gathered my priorities,
Became an independent king.
Met a girl
Elizabeth
Spanish
Latin queen. 
Still to this day
she haunts my dreams.
Before me, she was 
with a she
together, a pair of queens
I, her first guy. 
cohabitation, compromise. 
After dissolution,
our rugged eighteen months,
she left me 
for her queen
this heartless sex fiend 
Faithful to me till the end of 
Two thousand 
Three...

Jared Pickett.......04'
