He warned me, he did
of a two week visit from his
long distant girlfriend in Florida.
She arrived just before Memorial Day.
Had to pull him aside
for one small question.
“What’s with the dog and all that stuff?
Seems quite excessive for just a two week visit.”
“Two weeks!”, he replied,
“I told you she’s here for at least three months.
Maybe permanently.”
Well, a change of everything,
starting with him telling me
that he doesn’t need to consult with me
on anything to do with the house.
Hey, I only live here
and like I shouldn’t know
I’m going to have a new roommate, possibly.
My eyes are open
in the darkness of my room.
My head rests upon the pillow.
There’s a throbbing pounding in my head -
parts of my face are numb.
Headache.
I think about it
and wonder what may have caused it.
But ah!
It even hurts to think.
I clear my head of all thoughts -
which some people say
isn’t hard for me to do.
