the same old

her old boyfriend
wants back
in. he wants sex
and affection.
but doesn't care
to hear about
the bills, the sick
cat, the tuition, or
where she's been.
he wants sex. then he
wants to leave,
and in a week or two,
or three, maybe
sooner if his girlfriend
is out of town,
come back again.
it was this way
thirty years ago,
and nothing has changed.
