If you identify with the male character in this story and feel lorded over by the female character, then please realize that freedom to play with lonely time is to some the freedom to die alone with cancer. To others it’s having lived 52 years with Spina Bifida, beating the odds, and wondering how many more. To others its just being such a jerk of a woman nobody wants you. So if you feel oppressed over exes, divorces, loves gone and so many bills and working hours you can’t keep up, then look up, Lord Garcia-Black, things could be worse. By the way, if I felt lorded over by a poet, I would not be so kind as to vote 8.
