squeegie, ruler, cigarette

first
clearing her words from my mind
with a bottle-shaped squeegie
I only hope to forget
how much distance there really is
between hope and regret
but my perspective has always been
that no vanishing point exists there
then
I never could figure out
how she found the ruler she used
to measure intent
but she rapped across the knuckles
of my heart
one too many times
last
before she was done with me
her wish was to execute the last vestiges
of my happiness
but she never did give me a cigarette
before I faced her firing squad
