the past wears tight jeans

so seeing you today meant
nothing
as i waited for my stepson at school
(after obeying all the rules
for once
and using all the crosswalks)
as you walked in
carrying the box of mail
like a baby you couldn't wait
to drop off
looking determined
and busy
and a little more fit
since i knew you
a bit more than one
year ago
but still
it was strange
and i'd just assume avoid it
in the future
because i can do
without
wondering
(even if i could care less)
(which is most definitely
the case)
why you're hurrying with your
afternoon rounds
and who you're anxious to see that
night after
who knows how many
colorado bulldogs
and who knows how many times
you'll make him
fuck you
after yet another technicolor desert
sunset
so predictable
around here
you see it in black and white
like everything
else
