no pleasantries
Folder:
Still cleaning up the mess...
we don't exchange pleasantries
we aren't friends anymore (really were we ever)
plus I made a solemn resolution, no contact ever again
twenty years of contact was more than enough time
for me thanks
so why did he text me at 7:30 am on New Year's Day
after so much time passing (so much time in fact
that I can't even remember the last time we spoke),
his seasons greeting actually spelled correctly
with capital letters in all the right places,
a red balloon emoji punctuating the end of the line
very strange indeed
and How did his new wife feel about him texting
his ex of more than 12 years or, more likely,
How would she feel if she knew
I recollect what a challenge (and a nuisance)
it was for him to forsake all others
are you wondering if I texted him back?
