some empty little town on the north shore, a corner outside a library, i see her first and she pretends not to see me. she's smoking and looks ahead trying to be cool and indifferent but instead looks self conscious and nervous.
'hello you,' i say as i pass her.

'oh hi.'

i walk past her, not looking back.

it's not like there was any love there, just sex. it's not like we parted friends, in fact if i recall correctly she ended up stealing from me. money, an opel card and books. 

she was a petulant brat actually. 

i remember her body and smile.

later i get a text from another ex, she says 'we should meet?'

'we did,' i reply.

well it's the mercury retrograde and pisces is in jupiter, the stars conspire against me. 

it will pass.
