They have seven kids now;
he realizes they overextended.
He’s fairly monied, but he knows
he’s screwed if she leaves him.
He knows he won’t be able to afford all
the child support and the alimony.
So he stays with her although
he’s miserable and trapped.
She knows she has the upper hand
in their loveless marriage if they divorce.
She stays with him because even though
she’ll be financially set if she leaves him,
she feels no other man will want her
divorced and with seven kids.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
