everything the same

having not seen one another
for years.
you both catch up.
the illnesses, the past
loves, work
and more work. getting
the small talk
out of the way about
children and pets.
moving and staying put.
she points at her scar,
a small ragged line
on her neck. you pull
up your pant leg
and show her
where a dog bit you.
she laughs, you drink.
you go back to her small
apartment, everything looks
the same. you make
love then leave
before the morning comes.
nothing has really
changed.
