ode to people who are riots

you're such a
riot. he says:

i went back to Canada,
to be
with the woman I loved
at the time

"at the time?"
"at the time!"
the peanut gallery senses a story;
"at the time! at the time!"

because we're not
together anymore, he says...

crickets

...as of yesterday

I told her I love her
and she said she loves me
and then she went home
with her new boyfriend
