warm watermelons
dear
i'm
sorry
i
was really frustrated this morning
because
of how long
it
took me to get out the apartment
this
ocd bullshit kills
i
was hungover for the first time in weeks
and
this month is really gnawing at the bit
i'm
really sorry, babe
maybe
you should just go to work
and let
me do this closing business alone
that
way we don’t end up shouting
and
yelling like we did
by
the way
i
didn't leave you on the street
you
know i’m like general macarthur
i
always come back
i
went and got the watermelon for you
and
the quarters for the laundry
but
that bitch clerk at the grocery
took
forever again
and
i missed you at the bagel shop
so i
wandered the streets
in
the heat and humidity
looking
for you
i
wanted to apologize back then
for
all of the shouting and insanity
only
you were gone
so
i'm here at work now writing this email
with
a container full of warm watermelon sitting next to me
feeling
like shit
hoping
you’ll write me back
when
you get there
telling
me that everything is all right
