The Can Fills, the Can Empties
"THE CAN FILLS, THE CAN EMPTIES"
my mentor said:
“everything repeats.”
my mentor said:
“there is always one
woman to save you from
another and as that
woman saves you, she
makes ready to destroy
you.”
I kicked my last whore
to the curb.
an ex-girlfriend from
over a decade ago
messaged me.
there’s been silence
between my ex and I.
the ex that returned
talks to me every mo-
ment she can.
my current ex just
messaged me through
the phone and wrote,
“I hate you!”
the ex from the past
just called me on the
phone and said,
“I love you, I miss
you. I want to see
you already.”
my mentor knew his game.
I drink, I type.
play by play and it’s
beautifully glorious.
