Lenny Dumped
Like a picture window
getting hit by a branch,
glass going everywhere,
my heart broke. I’m too tired
to clean up shards. He said
he loved me while making
pasta in a pot given full heat—
he forgot to turn the heat down,
burning the pasta.
He blamed me. I may fall
in love again. Some say
it’s like riding a bike.
Cars hit me three times
on a bike. I got back on,
not sure why.
