Another man took me out tonight, but his hair was dark.
We made painful small talk in a hotel bar
Before I cut the evening short with an excuse.
...
When we come together
it is never to talk of our glory days
(there was glory for some people?
they’re the ones that don’t show up, I guess.)
...
'What is this? '
It is my face, though I had not
realized until
you asked.
