stupidgirl!
two blue ticks and you’re onto the next one –
and i can’t believe how i stumbled, how i smiled on the tube
when the signal swooped in and your poem dropped down.
how i really, really thought i’d won- that you’d be waiting
on the platform with my flowers, and it would be done.
how many more? how many before me?
how many torn-up diary entries,
how many scrawled stains on parchment,
how many twisted, looping theories in hieroglyphics disintegrating down the nile, scrambling to compile any other theory than:
i was just being so silly. that i liked you a lot more than you liked me.
fucksake. tell friends it fizzled out.
pull tarot. maybe shave my head-
hair stores memories, apparently?
