We spent the last
dozen Saturdays
having lunch
at a window sill table,
watching all the characters
stroll through the Quarter.
Today though,
she laid it out.
Talking about
career goals,
maturity
and different directions
we were heading.
I don't even realize
we were breaking up.
She wasn't all wrong,
most of what she said
could've been true.
She was smart,
pre-law at Tulane,
so she might've had a case
but I thought it was
politely vicious to
a make her argument
after I already paid
the check.
