A Short Trip To Reality

Modern Living

I thought I lost you
I turned, you were gone.
Up and down aisle nine
I never saw the sign.

Then I saw you standing in line
…dropping the cantaloupe
…looking at him
I went searching for a bottle of wine.

You said he was a friend.
I’m sure he was.

Taking advantage
Always winning your serve.
Never a love
always keeping your nerve.

A super intellect?
I’ll ask you a question.
You say you forgot
but knew yesterday.
