Thank You for Leaving

I am sorry
“It is not working out”
that you will be at your sister’s
“for a few days”
Don’t hurry back
I will throw my clothes
where I damn well please
Have beer followed by whiskey
for dinner
visit a pizza dive
not the “Chez Overpriced”
avoid decaf vanilla latte frappuccino ,
sushi and wine bars
no more inquisitions at 2 a.m.
After your sister’s
do you have a cousin
you could visit
And my phone
under my pillow
hoping you call
means nothing.
