fuuuuuck

fuck
no time
too long
fooled around
returned
a drawn-out comeback
although mutually contemplated
has no grounds
grew my hair
sent a postcard
mere assignation
for the most part, ignored
showed me kindness
despite memory loss
vanished, withdrawn
a new beginning
i had no distance to fall
full of shit
far flung
a literary find
no amount of social posturing
doesn’t change the fact
we are our own jailers
within our minds
