the women of the past keep
phoning.
there was another yesterday
arrived from out of
state.
she wanted to see
me.
I told her
<<no.>>
I don’t want to see
them,
I won’t see them.
It would be awkward
gruesome and
useless.
I know some people who can
watch the same movie
more than
once.
not me.
once I know the
plot
once I know the
ending
whether it’s happy or
unhappy or
just plain
dumb,
then for me
that movie is
finished
forever
and that’s why
I refuse
to let any of my
old movies play
over and over again
for
years.
