PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought about, 

Watching all the ‘Jeopardy’

Episodes 

Recorded on the DVR,

Then look 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,

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 better. 

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 delete 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 FB 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.
