549

there’s this woman outside of
a coffee shop I go to.
she gives me eyes that
I can weigh and cash in
full of intent and loneliness.

there’s a dog barking
in the car beside me.
it reminds me of my ex
and her god damned dog
her bony legs
and the hair she never washed.

I’m going out soon.
I got dressed up
but I can’t remember the
name of the woman I’m taking.
