Amicable divorce… what a strange concept. Hey, you were both tired of each other and cringed to think of actually engaging in physical love-making or anything beyond picking up the kids for soccer practice… let us pretend that nothing happened to send us on our separate ways… no anger… no slamming doors… no late night arguments that went nowhere… no sitting at the kitchen table nursing a beer in silence waiting for her to come home… no resentments… no foolin’ around. Let us take this contempt we have left for ourselves and mock the love we began with. Let us imagine that we are amigos, friendly with each other and friends, and with the lovers who occupy our separate beds. Let us smile and nod amicably as our lawyers sort out the mess we have made of our child’s life. Let us make this business as painless as possible; the way funerals bury the dead, corpses all made up, waxed and pretty so that folks will say, “He looks good… so alive… like he is sleeping!”
