PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought about

watching 

all the ‘Jeopardy’ episodes 

recorded on the DVR,

Then looking like a genius,

When we played them back

together. 

But you're probably watching them,

With her 

and will smoke me outta the water,

If we even ever play them back,

together. 

You know,

I thought about 

calling the guy before you,

There is probably more than one,

to make me feel, desirable,

When we crawl back into bed 

together. 

You’re hanging out with ex’s,

There’s definitely, a few,

So you’ll say, 

be free my dove, do

whatever, makes you feel

best. 

Not that, though. 

Not that. 

Cuz ex’s are ex’s for a very good reason. 

Definitely expired. 

You know

I thought about

Losing weight,

Writing a book,

Painting the walls,

Cleaning the shed, the attic, the drawer o’ junk,

But, instead, I eat the ice cream,

I bought you 

Last winter.  

So come home.

You know 

I’ll fast forward through the Alex stories, 

The DVR’ll be cleared

Of the late-guy-before-you’s 

Documentary and travel shows,

And a couple of Big Brothers,

All dreams dreamed up by others,

Shows meant for other twos, 

And start all fresh and new,

A friendless FaceBook page,

All dedicated to you. 

PS

I had to douse the

ice cream,

with loads of chocolate syrup,

I mean,

you know, 

who eats

vanilla

ice cream

anyway.
