Hanque O . . .

She was seeing someone
who was self-absorbed,
boring, not quite serviceable in bed,

and, worst of all—arrogant.
It took a while to see the truth.
He had the looks, he had the charm,
to make a good impression.

But facts are facts.
She packed his clothes
in a paper bag, and set it by the door.

Outside, it was raining.
She went about her business.
She paused.
She set the bag outside the door.
