Backfire July 2, 2012

 


I deliberately sent the email to her,

thinking she would not see it

until she got back,

a release about an event

 I knew she could not cover

while on vacation,

I asked her permission if I could,

a shitty bit of slight of hand,

despite to keep open

the door of communication

to inform her I was still alive

if not thriving, and maybe

my mean streak showing

to stick a barb in the pleasing

memories she would later

 carry away from her time

 with someone else.

So much more was the shock

when she responded,

 since she was not supposed

 to have access remotely

from the account I sent

the email to,

more shocking,

 her off the cuff answer

telling me to do what I wished,

 a can of worms

I refused to open

when what I wished for

 she would never give,

my little game back firing in my face.
