Impromptu

my muse
went on
a cruise ship
vacation
leaving me
alone

right
now aft
or port
she is
dancing
on some deck

as i am
playing solitaire
on my cell
phone
not even
real cards

i miss
the texture
not new
nor worn
cards
finger familiar

like touching
her thigh
a foreplay
game
how can i
lose
against myself

I did it again last night. I need to look at all my replies and check my comments box to see what I wrote. I'm dumb like that.
