Clearance
I found our picture
among old letters, papers
and clutter
you would be pleased
to know that I paused
briefly
remembered our failed
attempts at a
reunion
and the delusions
that a shared
past
was somehow important.
I placed it with the old
gas bills
and newspapers that
I had kept for forgotten
reasons.
if we were to meet again
I think we should smile
awkwardly
before passing
silently by.
