So What's New?

Yesterday, we had one of our slap-up
everything destroying fights
I retired defeated, as always, utterly shattered
Maybe you shivered as you settled to your whiskey
Or maybe you just continued to fulminate
Long after I fell asleep to curse you
in my dreams
you won again of course
even there
Now I watch you lie in state ,
dressed in purple, the colour of kings
Your Nehru collar holding your head in place
I finally have the last laugh
You hated purple
