You operate on the afternoon <br />You perform open heart surgery <br />on the ghosts <br />of your suicidal friends <br /> <br />You divorce your parents <br />before you have time <br />to be born <br /> <br />You kick out your wife & child <br />You tell your girlfriend <br />to go screw herself <br /> <br />This is the solitude you wanted <br />The silence <br />is stitching you up <br />you write<br /><br />Erica Jong<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-operate/
