Revised Poem: SINCE YOU DISAPPEARED


SINCE YOU DISAPPEARED

I read your Social Network page where you
mentioned the increase in responsibility
you now have since your promotion.

And my first response was to write
an impulsive-child poem about how you haven’t
bothered to contact me for over two years.

Then, my second response was to think
about your hard work and achievements
and how I gave up too easily and too often.

Now, I have plenty of time to write poems
like this one while you’re doing something
more productive than revisiting bad choices and regrets.

At the very least, I’ve learned to be less childish.
