Had to suffer
Through a
Bad date
Last
Night
As she asked
Me my favorite
Bands
I thought of
Music
Cigarettes
And
Solitude
I got up
And went to
The
Bathroom
Looked at
The
Clock
And tried to
Think of a
Way
To slice an
Orange
Without
Cutting
It.

On things
No one

Picked
Up the

And that's
Fucking
Okay
She's
Probably
Writing
The

Novel
Anyway.

I text her,
"I'm going to
Go back to
My life of
Being alone
And writing,
It's the only
Thing I'm
Good at,
Wish you
Well."
She texts back,
"Wish you
Well too."
A day later
I get a text,
"Hey"
It worked.
