A Realization

Mr. Smith smokes his cigar contently in the backyard

For the first time in months, he does not hear Mrs. Smith

She always used to yell

The smoke would fill the pink kitchen where she cooked her roast.

The smell would creep throughout the whole cookie cutter house.

It made her dark eyes burn

It made her dull eyes water

More than their pending spilt.

Now Mrs. Smith is gone.

Dead or divorced?

What does it matter?

Mr. Smith can smoke his cigars now in peace.
