it was a year ago today
since I saw him last
it was a year ago yesterday
that he told me he had no affection for me
branded it into my psyche
it was a year ago yesterday
and on this anniversary
by coincidence only
he emailed me
wondered if we were on speaking terms
it was a year ago
I would have forgotten it was our anniversary
if he hadn’t contacted me
it was a year ago
I cannot bring myself to believe
he’s been counting, too
this is not a poem
exactly
just thoughts broken by lines
and no punctuation
for good measure
this is not a coherent whole
poem and prose
welded and molded
fused together
in harmony
………
Let me tell you. Thursday marks our one-year anniversary. We met at Julie’s, after my class (it was Theories of Technical Communication). I was so nervous, literally shaking in my brown boots, and when I saw him, I thought he was gorgeous. I thought he would surely not be interested in me.
We were together 5.5 months. We’ve been apart now for longer. 6.5 months. And Thursday marks our one-year anniversary.
Consequently, it is also trash day.
