I have to contact
an old girlfriend
to give her a new book
by a good friend
who wrote a great poem
about her.
It is autographed and dedicated
with her name.
Thought she would appreciate it
and she will.
The book arrived yesterday,
she hasn’t been around
for two years.
Yet,
my friends still write poems
about her.
I quit that
awhile back
but
have to admit,
I haven’t quit
completely.
