Dating & Divorce

So, I took the call

with the ex watching

and failing at his

“I’m not listening”

look.

 

“Sure, seven is fine,

see you then.”

The phone went back

into my pocket.

 

Late night drunken text

arrived hours later:

“I’m fucked up.”

Yeah, well, I knew that

six months ago.

 

In a kinder world

I would feel pity for

his obvious pain.

 

Instead I think I’ll

have a beer

and sit in the chair

that used to be his.
