The Bad Wife
Part One of the Unseasonal Greetings Saga. Guerrilla Literature conceptualized, written and scheduled 12/10/2024.
We are in a new era. Life in the After Party. Unseasonal Greetings from the Kerr Clan to you this Holiday Season. These next few pieces will be inspired by the Holiday Party. Whatever you derive from them is likely true and most definitely false. Don’t think too much about it. None of these people are real, you are not real, but I witnessed it all with my own two eyes.
She got the big job, the position she always wanted. Here at the Christmas party, I wonder if your psyche is haunted. We’re talking and we’re laughing, though she’s not at your side. She’s craving the boss’s authoritative touch, somewhere among the masses inside. Upward mobility is important, she’ll try to get there by going down. Your life sounds rather lovely, but I fear Krampus is coming to town. While we’re both here as spouses, I worry you won’t return next year. She’s hitching up her skirt for him, offering up some holiday cheer. You seem so happy for her, I feel so bad for you. If I could, I’d gift you faithfulness and pray that she stays true. This world devours the purest, it’s easy come and easy go. Soon your heart will be frozen, buried deep beneath winter snow.
