Get Better

By Sammy Ginsberg

rationalizing
that if he never talked to me again
and all he ever did was ask me for my phone number
and say he wanted to get coffee
i'd be happy.

but secretly, it's not.

i can't help that i hope
that maybe he'll understand
a spirit like mine
kindred

it can either stay the same or get better.
