without saying goodbye to one?
-every now and again-
I find myself saying,
"I'm glad I missed the boat on that one."
While you're still sitting at your student desk,
you open the lid only to seethe
over some he-said-she-said
from who knows how long ago?
Your looks ran out,
your substance faded,
and left all of us in my mind
to question-
What did I ever see in you?
Well. . .
I'm glad I missed the boat on that one
because not only did yours sink
and leave you
stranded-
