I got beat by Cougar bait./
Who can blame her?/
She won’t wait!/
36, 34, 35:/
No kids has he./
Still very alive,/
unlike me./
Sad poetry./
2 old, 2 late/
2b Cougar bait

The day the muse died,/
it just happened;/
a complete surprise./
No warning,/
no call,/
no death knell at all./
Just silence.

Obviously the situation has changed/
between us. Why-How?/
I’m sorry you don’t think/
I’m worth letting know./
I hope you’re happy. Be well,/
live long and Prospero!

Does everyone decide/
simultaneously/
when 2 slide/
and when 2 stop?/
When to work hard/
and when not?/
How does that work?/
How does that go?/
I never got/
that memo.

Yer abandonment concerns/
make u leave me alone./
Yer fear says/
“B careful!/
He’ll leave you alone!”/
So U/
neglect 2/
write, text, phone./
But who’s/
being left undone?

I grew up learning 2b sarcastic./
I’m really good at it.

My ability 2 fight/
a battle of wits/
with half-armed nits/
was a delight!/

But in hindsight/
I ask: so what?

Does she stay up late/
4 fun?/
Or log in/
then go run/
and forgets/
the guy not met/
yet?/
The 1 who thinks she’s hot/
and has got/
a face/
he can’t place/
yet/
cant 4get!

Wow! What’s gotten into me?/
I wanna go c/
a movie!/
do an art walk!/
Sit around and talk!
Anything where/
u and i end up there./
I can’t wait 2c/
if ur there with me!

“Do you get
Poems Context-
ing
back? A viral thing?”

The answer came true:
Just from you.
Everyone else
tries a line or two
and then quits,
and says “it’s something I can’t do!
Boo hoo hoo!”
It’s totally true!)

Oh! That I could have danced with U!/
Wango-Tangoed the whole nite through!/
Instead I’ll do what I said I’d do!/
You’ll have the day’s 1st email when Im through!
