Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Bad Bed Partners

It’s over
as quick as it began.
A bad summer fling.
A mistaken passing in the night.
It never should have happened.
Never.
We were naive.
We picked her because she seemed cool.
We thought she was a go-getter.
She was.
The only problem was she was busy getting everyone else’s things.
She didn’t have time to go get us anything.
She made lots of promises.
But none of them seemed to materialize.
And then when things weren’t working out,
she didn’t even have time to sit down and talk with us
about it.
She was too busy,
selling.
Yes,
she was selling
everything but our house.
