No Blow
so this is how it ends
no bang
no whimper
but with a snort
two lines of blow
careful spread
on your cell phone screen
that you did
this sort of thing
didn’t bother me particularly
as long as you did it
without me as an audience
as long as you did it
outside of my residence
when you aren’t here
it’s not a part of my life
not a part of our play
our play is best confined
to the two of us
substances
are a third party
that quickly becomes the focus
it takes over
demands that whatever else might happen
it is the only thing that counts
me being in the room
was a distraction
you being in the room
was now a disappointment
and when you left
I was relieved to see you go
not wishing you could stay longer
those two lines
closed a door
never open to you again
