Possibilities
Vague tomorrow is
malleable until tempered
by the here and now.
Laid off friend
Drops by at four, raids
the fridge, toasts unhappy hour
to his firing squad.

Boyfriend
He’s prettier than
her, constantly sculpting his
man bun with groomed hands.

Brief holiday visit
Once her nest, now a
museum to her old self.
Home is elsewhere.
Past life public

this old friend, written record
for the world to view
