OLD BOYFRIENDS IGNORING ME ON FACEBOOK

by Bryan Borland

I wonder if it was hard
on you to make the choice
between confirm and ignore,
remembering your hard on
underneath our shared blanket.
I wouldn’t have sent
a friend request to your wife
or your father.
I wouldn’t have gushed
white flattery on your wall
or poked you
after ballpark swigs of German beer.
I was only going to tell you
you’re on page 33
and 82
but then,
you already knew that,
didn’t you?
