on Instagram
with my high school girlfriend,
who is recently divorced,
pretty good with puns,
and has decent book recommendations.
she started writing
and thanked me for the encouragement
when all I said
is the world needs more poetry
"and less Kardashians."
we were teens once,
sunshifters in yesterday's shade,
beguiled by the future,
raging with hormones,
and now we are in the middle
pretending it doesn't matter.
she sent me a real text message,
so I saved her number
and texted her back,
"story is art & art is story"
to be continued...
