it wasn’t meant to be
my cell phone rings and I lift it off
the table just enough to see the number
and let it back down with a snarl
you’re not going to answer it she says
that’s right I’m not going to answer it
the number’s not in my contacts
and I don’t recognize it
maybe it’s somebody from your
attorney’s office with some
good news she says
believe me that call was not from my
attorney’s office
what are you laughing at she says
I’m just saying maybe you’re rich
and you don’t even know it
april two thousand sixteen
