Poem Written During An Hour Long Walk of Shame
There are lots of things that make this funny
and maybe even slightly metaphorical. First off,
we didn’t even have sex. I am on my period
and he has depression. It’s a Monday at 6:44 AM
and my phone lets me know I will arrive on foot
at my destination in approximately one hour
and six minutes.
So far I have entertained myself
with things like typos on fast food signs and the
guarantee that the shoes I’m wearing will eventually
make my feet hurt. I take my time trying to count cracks
in the sidewalk and the different ways I can spin this
to make my friends laugh when I tell them my longest
walk of shame didn’t even involve getting laid.
