National Poetry Month Day #16

Ah The Ex

Ah the ex.
Shows up when you least expect,
tries to be nonchalant.
Well, actually he doesn’t have to try
because he’s too clueless
to be anything else.
I’m not the same as
twenty-five ago
but you know what?
He’s old,
baggy and lined.
Don’t care where his
destination t-shirt came from.
I don’t have to be rude or anything to him.
He’s the ex for a reason.
