CHUBBY GINGER CAN ROT

CHUBBY GINGER CAN ROT

you, reminder of
my exiled past;
fair warning that the guy
who you think is this
kindest of gentlemen
is not that -
leaving you,
leaving him, leaving
all the loose ends that
he began to tug on to
torture me in a still
tuggable, moldable state,
was best;
i can look back now and
relish in how that hatred
was oh so very mutual.
if i were still there,
i would not have a past
able to be exiled but
i probably would be
if he had finished what he'd started
